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.

<p> Wife of Elimelech, mother of [[Mahlon]] and Chilion, and mother-in-law of Ruth. After dwelling ten years in the country of Moab, when her husband and sons were dead, she returned to the land of Judah, with the widowed Ruth. She asked to be called no more Naomi, 'pleasant,' but Mara, 'bitter,' saying "for the [[Almighty]] hath dealt very bitterly with me." She sought the welfare of Ruth, whose marriage with [[Boaz]] comforted her, and she became nurse to their son Obed. Ruth 1 Ruth 4 . Typically she represents desolate Israel, as Ruth does the despised but pious remnant brought into full blessing at the end on the ground of sovereign mercy, even as Gentiles, yet casting themselves on the goodness of the Kinsman-Redeemer: see Isaiah 63:16 . </p> | |||

<p> <strong> NAOMI. </strong> 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 ( <em> ’ânâh </em> ) against me?’ ( Ruth 1:2-21 ). </p> | |||

<p> [[Naomi]] (na-ô'mî or nâ'o-mî), my delight. The wife of Elimelech, and the mother-in-law of Ruth, and who moved with their two sons from [[Judæa]] to [[Moab]] in the time of a famine. Ruth 1:2.

<p> (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 (Ruth 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]]). </p> | |||
