What is the meaning of the name Naama ?

The baby name Naama is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /naˈama/; respelling: nah-AH-mah.

Naama is Hebrew in Origin.

Naama is a feminine Hebrew name from the root n-ʿ-m (noam), meaning “pleasantness, sweetness, delight.” In the Bible it appears as Naamah: the daughter of Lamech and Zillah (Genesis 4:22) and Naamah the Ammonite, mother of King Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:21, 31). The form Naama without final h reflects modern Israeli pronunciation and transliteration; Na’ama, with an apostrophe, marks the guttural ayin. Usage has remained steady in Jewish communities and is popular in contemporary Israel.

Variants and related forms include Naamah, Na’ama, and Naama; cognates by root are Naomi and Noam (also used unisex). In other languages, lookalike names stem from Arabic roots: Naeema/Na‘ima (“gentle, tranquil”) or Ne‘ma/Ne‘mat (“blessing”), sometimes rendered as Naama in Latin script. Across traditions, the name carries an aura of grace and pleasant charm.
