History & Origin

Omega is the final letter of the Greek alphabet — literally o mega, 'great O' — freighted with meaning by the Book of Revelation's 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end'. The word marks ultimacy everywhere from physics to fraternities to fatty acids.

As an American given name it appears sparsely across more than a century of records, for both sexes — sometimes for a youngest child, the family's deliberate last word. It remains rare and resonant.

Did you know? Omega literally means 'great O' (o-mega) — the long vowel ancient Greek distinguished from omicron, the 'little O'.
