About Nomi
Nomi is building the cultural layer of digital identity.
Starting with African names, we’re creating the foundational data infrastructure that makes names across cultures pronounceable, searchable, and understandable in the digital world. Our growing dataset of 9,500+ names includes; meanings, pronunciations, language tags, and cultural stories thereby powering more inclusive user experiences in everything from professional profiles and AI assistants to classroom roll calls and genealogy platforms.
Names are more than labels. In many cultures, they tell stories about a person, how they came into this world, their cultural philosophy and family heritage.
With Nomi, we envision a world where names carry their full identity across borders and platforms, creating richer human connections.
