What People Usually Mean by This Name
From the Arabic root ن-ج-و (to be saved, to be delivered from harm), Najat is the classical noun: salvation, deliverance, the safe arrival after danger. The same root gives nabi (a lifted, elevated person) and munajat (intimate conversation, as with Allah).
The Quran uses the same root in Surah Ghafir (40:32), where the believer of Firaun's court warns his people: 'O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling out to one another (yawm al-tanad).' The classical exegetes read this as pointing to the day of najat, the day of salvation.
Najat is a widely used Arab girls' name across the Maghreb and Levant. It asks that a daughter's life be one of steady deliverance from the harms that could otherwise catch her.
