It is a Japanese name as well,
Some names have more than one origin and meaning, they arose independently from whatever culture or language they are found in.
NAOMI (1)
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Jewish, Biblical
Pronounced: nay-O-mee [key]
From the Hebrew name No'omi which meant "pleasantness". In the Old Testament she was the mother-in-law of Ruth. After the death of her husband, Naomi took the name Mara (see Ruth 1:20).
NAOMI (2)
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Japanese
Means "above all, beauty" in Japanese.
