Noma is of Scandinavian origin, specifically from Denmark, where it means 'home'. This name has gained international recognition due to the renowned restaurant NOMA, owned by chef René Redzepi.
The name Noma experienced a significant surge in popularity between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with noticeable spikes occurring around 1907 (23 births), 1916 (66 births), and 1917 (50 births). However, it seems to have fallen out of favor by the mid-20th century, with fewer than 20 occurrences per year from 1942 onwards. The highest number of births recorded in recent years is 22, which occurred twice between 1951 and 1953. Overall, there were a total of 1895 births named Noma over the course of these statistics.
