Etymology: In Japanese, Naomi is typically written with kanji such as 直美 (nao = straight/honest, mi = beauty), giving it the meaning 'honest beauty'. It can also be derived from other combinations like 尚美 (still beautiful) or 菜緒美 (vegetable thread beauty, poetic). Despite its Japanese usage, the name is also present in Hebrew tradition, where it means 'pleasantness' or 'my delight'.
