Nami Moon Farm

It was difficult to find a unique name for our business because so many of the "good" ones are taken, Chris Holman says. My wife, Maria, knew she wanted to have Moon in the name so I started rattling off things that I thought fit in the Arabic language. “Nami,” as it turns out, was one she liked. I thought it was great and a fitting pun because in Arabic the root of the word Nami means “to grow” and “Nami” itself means -- depending on context -- “rising” “growing” or sometimes “developing.” So we ran with Nami thinking it was unique. We’d probably translate the farm name as “Rising Moon.”

And then we discovered it isn't unique. The weirdest by far is that apparently there's a videogame where one of the characters -- who happens to farm chickens a bit -- is called “Nami.”

Funny how it all played out!
