History & Origin

Wyoma appears in United States records from around 1910, a rare girl's name echoing the place-name Wyoming, itself from a Munsee Delaware word for a large river flat. It reads as a place-inspired American coinage rather than a name with an independent root. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-1920s high.

A girl named Wyoma then would be a great-grandmother today, and the name has a spacious, Western, early-century feel. It has not revived, and its meaning stays tied to the place it echoes rather than a documented personal-name root.

Did you know? Wyoma carries the wide open West in it: it echoes Wyoming, whose name traces to a Munsee Delaware phrase describing a broad river flat.
