Registers cited: IBGE — Censo 2022 Nomes no Brasil per-token lookup (v3 API, given+surname); naampy — India given names from state electoral rolls (in-rolls); INE — Padrón per-token widgets (current living counts, given + apellidos). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

Other recorded senses(measured from records)
Homi is also recorded in 2 other lexicons, as a different name or as an ordinary word. These are senses of the spelling, not of the name above.
In pi, present/imperative active first-person singular of hoti (“to be”)
as a wordkaikki.org Wiktionary extract (IPA + transliterations)
In cic, to have a strong taste; to be bitter, to be spicy, to be hot

Ordered by how much of this spelling's record each language holds, so a sense from a language the name is barely used in sits last rather than first.
How to address them(machine-generated)
A formal English salutation is built on the surname, so it needs a full name — on its own, a first name only supports the informal form.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you pronounce Homi?

- Homi is recorded for both men and women. We don't publish a percentage split: a record's gender belongs to the person and is attached to every given name on that record, so names in cultures where a name string also carries a parent's or spouse's given name pick up large cross-gender counts.
- In which country does Homi have the most bearers?
- Homi is most frequently recorded in Mexico, where it is most often spelled homi.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
