Strong's Lexicon Noomi: Naomi Original Word: נָעֱמִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָעֵם (na'am), meaning "pleasant" or "delightful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Naomi in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Νωεμίν (Noemin). Usage: Naomi is a personal name meaning "pleasantness" or "my delight." In the Bible, Naomi is a central figure in the Book of Ruth. Her account is one of loss, loyalty, and redemption, as she navigates the challenges of widowhood and the return to her homeland. Cultural and Historical Background: Naomi lived during the time of the judges, a period characterized by social and religious upheaval in Israel. Her account unfolds in the context of a famine that forced her family to migrate from Bethlehem to Moab. The narrative highlights the customs and laws of levirate marriage and the role of women in ancient Israelite society. Naomi's return to Bethlehem with her Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, underscores themes of kinship, loyalty, and divine providence.
