Neeom

Hindi
"rule"

Neeom Origin and Meaning

The name Neeom is a boy's name meaning "rule".

Neeom appeared in the US stats for the first time in 2024, when it was given to 22 boys. Some sources suggest this sudden interest in the name was a result of it being listed (incorrectly) on Instagram as a name meaning "Lord Shiva", while others suggest it may be influenced by a planned city in Saudi Arabic, named Neom, from the Greek neo ("new") and the Arabic word for future mustaqbal.

It may also be linked to the Hindi word for "rule" (niyam), which could explain why it's linked to Lord Shiva, as in, one who rules supreme.

Actress Ahaana Krishna announced the birth of her nephew, Neeom, in 2025, which may spread the name further.
