Aomi

A succinct yet impactful Japanese name, Aomi is said as A-O-MEE, the first syllable like the A- sound in Apple, and rolled smoothly into the second O sound. As with many Japanese names, the meaning varies depending on which kanji elements are used, but options include "azure blue + vast ocean", "beautiful, green jade", and "blue, green jewel".

Notably borne by actress Aomi Muyock, it is also the name of an area of Tokyo, and while it is predominantly used as a girl name, it is technically unisex.

First entering the US stats in 2023, a recent year saw it given to 5 girls, though it may catch on with the popularity of Kiyomi and its similarity to Naomi.

Pronounced ah-OH-mee.

As of October 2026, Aomi ranked #15165 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #11164 for girls in 2024.
