      The name Gomer traces its roots back to the Hebrew language and carries the meaning of To Complete. This ancient appellation has a rich historical significance and finds mention in various texts and cultures throughout the ages. In biblical accounts, Gomer appears as one of the sons of Japheth and grandson of Noah. He is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, which recounts the origins of humanity, nations, and ethnicities.
