Meaning and origin of Naama
Naama comes from the Hebrew root n-a-m, 'pleasant, delightful', the same root found in Naomi. In the Bible, Naamah is the sister of Tubal-cain in Genesis 4:22, and another Naamah, an Ammonite, is the mother of King Rehoboam. Later Jewish legend gives the name to a demon figure, which some families note, but the name itself is widely used in modern Israel without that association.
