نجران

Arabic

Etymology

From the root ⁧ن ج ر⁩ (n-j-r) in the sense ⁧نَجْر⁩ (najr, “a root or stock or shape or figure”) +‎ ⁧ـَان⁩ (-ān) the sense of door-sill develops, and the walled city of Nejran, part of the Himyarite Kingdom, that already called it in its Old South Arabian inscriptions ⁧𐩬𐩴𐩧𐩬⁩ (ngrn /⁠nagrānu⁠/), had many gates. The same derivation for the sense of “thirsty” works from ⁧نَجْر⁩ (najr, “heat; violent thirst”).
