Noam Origin and Meaning
The name Noam is a girl's name meaning "pleasantness, charm, tenderness".
A popular name for both sexes in Israel, in the Top 10 for boys and Top 100 for girls.
In the US, Noam is most closely association with (male) intellectual figure Noam Chomsky and so is used (at this point) exclusively for boys. About 100 baby boys were given the name last year in the US, vs. no baby girls.
