Leiomi

Leiomi made its debut in the US stats in 2025, when it was given to 5 girls, and featured alongside Leonie, Kyomi, Lorelei, Leia, and Naomi. As a contemporary creation, it could have a number of different sources.

You could consider it a variation of Layomi, a Yoruba name meaning "God is my joy", or it could be a contracted form of Leimomi, a Hawaiian choice with the lovely meaning "pearl child". Alternatively, there's the Latin Leiomyo meaning "smooth muscle" (used in a medical sense to refer to some types of tumours.

There's even the possibility of it being a compound name, mixing Leia with Naomi, giving it the meaning of "my weariness and pleasantness".

Model, dancer, and activist Leoimy Maldonado is a notable bearer albeit her name is spelled differently.

Pronounced lay-OH-mee.
