Dictionary Meaning

What Nujood means

The noble, the high-born, the elevated ones — from the root ن-ج-د (najada — to be high-ground, to be elevated). Najd in Arabic is the highland — the elevated central plateau of the Arabian Peninsula that gives its name to the Najd region of Saudi Arabia. The plural nujud (sometimes vocalised nujood) means 'high places' or — figuratively — 'people of high standing'.

The Quran uses the related word najdayn (the two heights) in Surah al-Balad: 'And shown him the two paths (al-najdayn)?' (90:10) — the two elevated ways of good and evil that every human being is shown. Classical commentators tie the Quranic 'najdayn' to the personal name Nujood: the woman called by name into the high road, the path of righteousness.

The name carries the sense of inner nobility and moral elevation — the kind of nobility that classical Arab culture associated with the dwellers of the Najd plateau, who were renowned for their pride and independence. Top Saudi, Gulf, and Pakistani-Urdu girls name. Variants: Nujood, Nujud, Nojood, Nujoud. The Arabic is نُجُود.
