Meaning and background
The story behind Somi
Somi has a documented pop-music association through Jeon Somi. Her official Interscope site uses both SOMI and JEON SOMI and lists releases and videos including Birthday, XOXO and Fast Forward. That makes a singer-inspired dog name a concrete possibility, while keeping the shorter catalogue spelling visible. The artist's catalogue does not supply a universal Korean personal-name meaning, and a different person or family using Somi may have an unrelated explanation.
