"place name"Description:
One of several fascinating names used in Charlaine Harris's Midnight, Texas books and the NBC adaptation thereof, Fiji is a pleasingly quirky place name that's been little used for babies.

Najah is unexpected yet easy to understand and pronounce for English speakers, a plus if you want a name that's both unusual and accessible. Other forms of the name include Najat and the Azerbaijani Nicat.
