Nejat

Nejat (and its variants Necat and Nedžad) is a Turkish male name of Arabic origin. The name is found in the Turkish, Albanian and Bosnian languages.

Nejat might be derived from the German word "Naja" meaning "well" or "Nadja" meaning "hope". The name might be derived from the Persian word "Nezhad" meaning "race and nobility". In Persian language, Nejat has meaning of "rescue and to save". However, it is likely that it is the Ottoman Turkish form of the Arabic word/name "Najad" which means "helper or assistant".
