Ranks and shares: girls’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all girls SSA recorded that year.
Is Neomi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Neomi has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 115 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Neomi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Neomi, and how old are they?
1,310 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 71% of the 1,847 Americans ever recorded as Neomi. The median Neomi alive today is 34 years old; half are between 18 and 55.
The 2020 Census counted 1,194 people named Neomi (1,189 women and girls, 5 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,299 born in the U.S. The Census count is 8% below that prediction.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Where are babies named Neomi born?
The states with the most babies named Neomi are Texas, California and South Carolina, with 93% of its births recorded by state since 1910; South Carolina is not among the ten states with the most births.

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Neomi with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 7 names spelled alike, given to 7,738 babies since 1880, Neomi is the second most given (24% of them). In 2025 it was given to 15 of their 60 babies (25%), again the second most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
Names that rose and fell in the same decades as Neomi
Names whose births rose and fell across the same decades, measured on each decade’s share of births.
