Tomi

The short OH variation of Tomi was occasionally used as an alternative to Tommie in mid-century America, when it given to around 50 girls each year in the 60s and 70s, making it feel like an underused alternative to Terri, Toni, and Jerri.

With a long O however, Tomi is an international mini-name ripe for resurrection. It's particularly well-used for girls in Nigeria (where it's also a masculine name) and was a common choice for girls in Japan at the turn of the 20th century.

As an English name, it shares the "twin" meaning of Thomas, while as a Yoruba name it means "enough for me". As a Japanese choice, it can mean "wealth, abundance" or "capital beauty" depending on the kanji used.

Pronounced TO-me; TOHM-ee.

As of October 2026, Tomi ranked #6094 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1408 in 1953.
