Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Naomi in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. 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).

Upon her return to Bethlehem, Naomi expresses her grief and bitterness, asking to be called Mara, meaning "bitter," because "the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me" (Ruth 1:20, BSB). Despite her initial despair, Naomi's fortunes change as Ruth marries Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer, and bears a son named Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David. Naomi's story is one of transformation from sorrow to joy, highlighting themes of loyalty, redemption, and divine providence.
