The form of OMNI resembles the Zimri/Omri pattern. The root could be either ʿmn or ʾmn. The latter means “to confirm, support” with secondary meanings of “be true/faithful. ” [1] Note that the segholate form ʾomen occurs in Isaiah 25:1 (RFS), which with the 1c.s. possessive pronoun would become *ʾomnī, “my truth” (with the KJV rendering of the word) or “[DN is] my faithfulness” (JH). The form could also be a hypocoristicon, “[DN is] faithfulness” (JH). Note also a possible feminine form, ʾomenet, “nanny, nurse,” in 2 Samuel 4:4 (RFS).
See also ʾāmmān, “artisan” (The Song of Solomon 7:2) (RFS) and probably in the same sense ʾomnōt, “handiwork” (2 Kings 18:19) (RFS).
Cf. Book of Mormon OMNER, AMMON, AMNIHU, ANTIOMNO, et al.
