Naeemah

Naeemah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin. It is a variant of Naima (also spelled Na’ima) and is derived from the Arabic root na-im, meaning comfort, ease, happiness, or blessing. The feminine form commonly carries connotations of serenity and well-being.

The name is used among Arabic-speaking populations and is widely adopted in Muslim communities across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and the diaspora in Europe and the Americas. It appears in various transliterations, reflecting different languages and phonetic systems.

Spelling variations include Naeema, Naeema, Naima, Na’imah, Naeimah, and Na’ima. Pronunciation varies by language and community, contributing to multiple accepted forms in English and non-Arab contexts.

In onomastics, Naeemah is typically chosen for its associations with comfort, peace, and blessing. As with many Arabic-derived names, it may be used in combination with other given names within cultural or religious naming practices.
