However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates Naomi as Νωεμίν (Noemin). Usage: Naomi is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is most notably the name of the mother-in-law of Ruth, a central figure in the Book of Ruth. Context: Naomi is a significant character in the Book of Ruth, which is part of the Ketuvim, or Writings, in the Hebrew Bible. She is introduced as the wife of Elimelech and the mother of two sons, Mahlon and Chilion. The family resides in Bethlehem of Judah but relocates to Moab due to a famine. After the deaths of her husband and sons, Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem upon hearing that the LORD had provided food for His people. She urges her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, to remain in Moab, but Ruth insists on staying with her, famously declaring, "Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God" (Ruth 1:16, BSB).
