Najee is a masculine name with likely Arabic origins, possibly derived from 'naji' (نَاجِي) meaning 'safe,' 'rescued,' or 'survivor.' The name gained usage in the United States particularly from the 1970s onward.

The name has a melodic two-syllable structure with a distinctive ending sound. While not among the most common names, it has maintained steady usage, particularly in communities with connections to Islamic naming traditions.
