Meaning & Story

Naomi is a Hebrew name from the Bible — the mother-in-law of Ruth, who declared her name should be changed to Mara (bitterness) after suffering great loss. The name means pleasantness or my delight in Hebrew, and its story is one of loyalty, love, and redemption.

Naomi is a name with one of the Bible's most beautiful stories attached — the unflinching loyalty of Ruth to her mother-in-law Naomi is the source of one of scripture's most famous declarations of devotion. The pleasantness meaning suits a gentle, warm-natured pet perfectly, and the name's literary and musical associations (it has been beloved by artists, writers, and musicians) give it a creative, expressive quality. Naomi is for a pet whose presence is genuinely a delight.
