Naomi is a Japanese athlete. The phrase is Japanese, meaning “Flower Bear”. But I guess it means something completely different for Swahili speakers.
It’s just like “Kanye West,” who goes by “Ye” now. His former name has a derogatory meaning in Swahili. But Americans and other people around the world perceive it as any other “normal” name.
