Gomer Gomer

There are two Gomers in the Bible. One is a son of Japheth, son of Noah, and the other one is the wife of Hosea (Hos 1:3).

The name Gomer comes from the verb Gomer (gamar 363). This verb occurs only five times (all in the Psalms; 12:2, 77:9, 138:8, 7:10 & 57:3) and has the basic meaning of to complete, finish.

The name Gomer means Completion.
