'Noemi' is a Biblical character. When she lost her husband and her sons, she changed her name to 'Mara' (from the Hebraic 'Marah' meaning 'unhappy, sad', opposed to 'Noemi' which means 'joy, happiness').
I'm Italian and here in Italy this name is given often, so it's not so rare hearing of some girl named Noemi.
The English pronunciation of Noemi should be: No-ae-me (or No-eh-me)
I don't know famous people bearing this name, but I love it (also because it's my name!), it reminds me of happiness but determination. I don't know, but I like it. >o

Come on people, this is not a Czech name. A couple of French weirdos naming their baby Yubuti-cuchuliuti doesn't make Yubuti-cuchuliuti a French name. (Just an example, no offence intended. Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental :))

It's the Czech version of the name. "Official", used in the ecumenical translation of the Bible and listed in that handbook by Miroslava Knappová, Jak se bude jmenovat, as a name that was allowed for use during communism (with the variant "Noema" - now that's a name I haven't seen in use yet. I do know a Noemi personally, and I do know of several other Noemis.)
Jan's not a Czech name either (originating in Hebrew, just like Noemi), yet it's one of the most commonly used ones in the Czech Republic. Just because this one isn't doesn't mean it's not rooted in the language. Look at the comments that claim it should be spelled differently. That proves it's a version of the original name that evolved over time into something specific for the areas where it's in use.

Forgive me for repeating myself, but this is SO not a Czech name it's ridiculous.
Definitely not of Czech origin (which I hope is obvious) and it's only borne by 490 residents of the Czech Republic, therefore less frequent than "curiosity" names such as Jessica or Jelena. I do wonder where did you get the idea that it was a Czech name in the first place?
To HanaB - From that point of view, EVERY name in the world would be a Czech name (and a Finnish name, and a Chinese name, and an Egyptian name...). Jan is the Czech form of an originally Hebrew name. It's been one of the most frequently used names in the Czech lands for centuries. These two facts combined are what makes Jan a Czech name, as opposed to Noemi. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Update: There were 585 Noemis in the Czech Republic in 2016.
Also, if people keep naming their children Jessica (of which there are currently 870 and we cannot discount mixed parents / foreigners born in the Czech Republic in that number) for years to come, maybe in a hundred years we will consider it a Czech name. That's how language usage works.
On Kdejsme.cz, there are recorded instances of Noemis being born in the 1920s, and while there were never many of them, the births graph is pretty steady (climbing in recent years) - it's not just a recent trendy name like Jessica is. And because the spelling is distinctive, as touched upon earlier, it's far likelier that said Noemis really are / were Czech.
Random comparison: Cecílie, a foreign-origin name with definite history in Czech, is at 127. And its usage in the 20th and 21st centuries in the graph of births at Kdejsme.cz is far less steady. Cecílies were born in random bursts. Noemis were born fairly consistently throughout time.

Noemi is rather fashionable in Italy today. It ranks 23rd of the most popular names in 2004, 26th in 2006.

Noemi is also the Czech and Slovak form.

I think that Noemi is a very pretty name but isn't it used in Italian, Spanish, AND Portuguese? I was just wondering.
