Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.

What we can tell you about Omi

Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
