Omish are people that follow a specific religion, a derivative of Christianity...there were several such derivatives that migrated to the Americas such as Puritans, Quakers, etc.
I think you mean Amish. Anyway, Amish get their name from a Mennonite leader named Jacob Amman who broke with the Mennonites because he felt the group was moving away from their original teachings.
AMISH:
Etymology: probably from German amisch, from Jacob Amman or Amen fl1693 Swiss Mennonite bishop
: of or relating to a strict sect of Mennonites who were followers of Amman and settled in America chiefly in the 18th century
