Najeeba meaning
Najeeba (نجیبہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
Generous, noble; distinguished by rank or worth; excellent
Also used to mean: highborn
Najeeba (نجیبہ) is the feminine of Najeeb, from Arabic najīb and the root n-j-b. Lane's lexicon defines najīb as a generous, noble or liberal person, someone distinguished by rank or reputation, and anything excellent or of great worth of its kind; it adds that the word was used for a person who takes after a generous father. Name lists give Najeeba as "noble" or "of noble birth", which matches the dictionary. Najeeb is the boys' form, used in India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Najeeba is its feminine.
