The first name 
Neomi

Neomi is a female first name.

Neomi – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Neomi in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Neomi in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Neomi by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Neomi ranks at #5,817. That means there are 5,816 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Neomi.

Neomi -
an underrated contemporary

While Neomi is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1927, the name Neomi reached its highest popularity with #1,393 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Neomi. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Neomi.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Neomi was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Neomi in 2022 – marvelously unusual

In 2022, 16 babies were born with the name Neomi. This puts the name in rank 6,090 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 9,264,494 newborns was named Neomi that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Neomi has been and remains marvelously unusual!

Neomi -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Neomi in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 283 women and girls named Neomi, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 283 women and girls named Neomi live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Louisiana, New York, Oklahoma and South Carolina. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Neomi. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Neomi lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Neomi and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Neomi relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 81,199 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Neomi.

Neomi has 5 letters 
and begins with an N

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Neomi is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
