Naomi:

or Nao'mi (my delight) the wife of Elimelech and mother‐in‐law of Ruth (Ruth 1:2 etc.; Ruth 2:1 etc.; Ruth 3:1; 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.
