omicron
noun
om·i·cron ˈō-mə-ˌkrän 
ˈä-mə-ˌkrän
ˈä-mə-ˌkrän British also ō-ˈmī-(ˌ)krän
plural omicrons
How a Virus Got Its Name: Usage Guide
In November 2021, a COVID-19 variant was named Omicron, after the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. The World Health Organization uses Greek letters to name variants, because these names are easier to communicate than scientific designations like B.1.617.2. According to the WHO, the 13th and 14th Greek letters (nu and xi) were skipped over because "nu" sounds like "new," and "xi" is also a common surname.
How to Pronounce Omicron: Usage Guide
The pronunciation of omicron has several variant forms acceptable in standard English. In American English, the primary stress is usually on the first syllable, pronounced as either a short \o\ as \ˈä-mə-ˌkrän\ or a long \o\ as \ˈō-mə-ˌkrän\. In British English, the primary stress can also be heard on the second syllable: \ō-ˈmī-(ˌ)krän\.
