Najeeb

Najeeb is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It is derived from the Arabic root najīb, meaning noble, distinguished, or honorable. The form conveys qualities of uprightness and high status in traditional Arabic naming.

The name is widely used across the Arab world and in Muslim communities in South Asia and the diaspora. Because Arabic names are transliterated into Latin script in several ways, Najeeb is commonly rendered as Najib, Najīb, Naijib, or Najibullah when it appears in longer compound forms. In South Asia, Najeeb and its variants appear as stand-alone given names and as components of compound names such as Najeeb-ud-din or Najeebullah.

Najeeb is typically a male name in contemporary usage, though naming practices vary by culture. It appears in literature, media, and public life where Arabic-influenced naming is common, and it is used by many diaspora communities around the world. The spelling variant Najib is more common in some regions due to historical usage and transliteration preferences, while Najeeb remains a frequently used form in others. As with many traditional names, its popularity and interpretation can reflect local linguistic norms and cultural influences.
