Neeom
2025 SSA
About Neeom
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.
Pronounced NEE-om.
As of October 2026, Neeom ranked #7533 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4649 for boys in 2024.
