Niajah
Meaning of Niajah
The name Niajah, a feminine appellation of apparent Arabic provenance, derives from the Semitic root نجح (n-j-ḥ), connoting triumph and prosperity, and is rendered in contemporary English as nee-AH-jah (/niˈɑːʒə/). As an Anglophone adaptation that may also subtly evoke the Swahili term Nia, meaning “purpose,” Niajah has surfaced intermittently in the United States—recorded between five and nineteen times annually from 1991 through 2010—corresponding to a Social Security ranking that fluctuated between 852 and 983, thereby reflecting modest yet consistent adoption. Over this period, the name has accrued associations of determination, auspicious accomplishment and purposeful intent, rendering it a designation that appeals to those who value both cultural resonance and aspirational significance.
