NAOMI.—The wife of Elimelech the Ephrathite, of Beth-lehem-judah, who was driven by famine into the land of Moab. After the death of her husband and her two sons, she returned, accompanied by Ruth, to her own land. Her return was a matter of surprise to the people of Bethlehem, and they said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ Her answer included a double play of words on her own name, ‘Call me not Naomi (‘pleasant’), call me Mara (‘bitter’): for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me … why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified (’ânâh) against me?’ (Rth_1:2-21).

Na'omi or Nao'mi. (my delight). The wife of Elimelech, and mother-in-law of Ruth. Rth_1:2; etc.; Rth_2:1; etc.; Rth_3:1; Rth_4:3; etc. (B.C. 1363). The name is derived from a root signifying sweetness or pleasantness. Naomi left Judea with her husband and two sons, in a time of famine, and went to the land of Moab. Here, her husband and sons died; and on her return to Bethlehem, she wished to be known as Mara, bitterness, instead of Naomi, sweetness. See Mara.

nā?ṓ-mı̄, nā́-ō?mı̄, nā́-ō?-mi (נעמי, no‛ŏmı̄, probably = ?pleasantness?; Septuagint. Codex Vaticanus Μωεμείν, Nōemeı́n; Codex Alexandrinus Νοεμμεί(ν), Noemmeı́(n)): Wife of Elimelech and mother-in-law of Ruth (Ruth 1:2 through 4:17). She went with her husband to the land of Moab, and after his death returned to Bethlehem. When greeted on her return, she told the women of the town to call her, not no‛ŏmı̄ (?pleasantness?), but mārāh (?bitterness?), ?for,? she said, ?the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.? She advised Ruth in her dealings with Boaz, and afterward nursed their child.
The name may mean ?my joy,? ?my bliss,? but is perhaps better explained according to the traditional interpretation as ?the pleasant one.?

Rth_1:2, Rth_1:20 (c) This is the type of a backslider who, having enjoyed the blessing of GOD, leaves the fellowship of GOD to go into the world. Afterward she returns from the far country suffering the consequences of disobedience In the beginning she is the backslider going away, but in the end she is the backslider restored to the fellowship of GOD.

Naomi
(Heb. Noomzi', נָעַמַי, my delight; Sept. Νοομμείν Νωεμίν, Νοεμμείν, Νοεμμεί, Νοομμεί,Νωεμείν, Νωεμμείν Vulg. Noemi), a woman of Bethlehem in the days of the early judges; wife of Elimelech, mother of Mahlon and Chilion, and mother-in-law of Ruth (Rth_1:2, etc.; 2:1, etc.; 3:1; 4:3, etc.). B.C. cir. 1363. The significance of her name contributes to the point of the paronomasia in 1:20, 21, though the passage contains also a play on the mere sound of the name, "Call me not Naomi (pleasant), call me Mara (bitter):... why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified (anah, עָנָה) against me?" SEE RUTH.
