Meaning and origin of Najiyah
Najiyah is Nājiya with a final h added for the tāʾ marbūṭa, the feminine ending of the Arabic word. It means a girl who has been rescued and kept from harm. The root n-j-w also gives najāt, salvation, so the name shares its sense with Najat. Many English-speaking Muslim families like this spelling because the written form then reflects the Arabic more faithfully; Najiya, Najia and Najiyya are other versions.
