About Tomi
A Welsh diminutive of Tomos/Thomas, or just a simplified spelling of Tommy.
Tomi for boys#13709 US
In Japan and Nigerian, Tomi is a unisex name.
Tomi for girls#6094 US
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 TOH-mee.
As of October 2026, Tomi ranked #13709 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3906 in 1958.
