Originated as a Black American synonym for 'man', taken from the French word for man/men,HOMME (pronounced 'ohm' ). It is unclear if the mispronounciation was intentional originally. Then,became misheard or the origin misunderstood, by both blacks and whites. For example: 'Holmes', 'Homes', 'Homeboy', etc...

"There are two people in my neighborhood who are good homies. Whenever I'm bored I just pay them a visit, 'cause they always welcome me. Sometimes one of'em takes me to see her other friends; they're good people too. Some do drugs, but they're nice to me and that's all I care about."
