Rich, wealthy, or beautiful child
In Japanese, Tomi is often a unisex name meaning 'rich' or 'wealthy,' though when used for girls, it can also be associated with 'beautiful.' In a Yoruba context, it is frequently a diminutive of names like Tomilola, meaning 'God has enriched me.' In the West, it is sometimes used as a diminutive of Thomasina.
