I need a woman's name in Arabic that rhymes with "ninja".

I am looking for a woman's name of Arabic origin that rhymes with / sounds like "ninja". Met a gorgeous Rumpelstiltskin who won't tell me any more than that.

Damned riddle-peddlers.

Najah? (roughly pronounced nah-jah)

Also possibly Najat, Najeeba, Najwa... lots others.

Check out this site for a list of feminine Arabic names.
