About Nedjma
Used as the title for a 1956 novel, by Algerian writer, Kateb Yacine, Nedjma could be a literary creation, inspired by the Egyptian name Nedjemmut, meaning "Mut is sweet", in which case, it might just mean "sweet".
Alternatively, it may have its origins in Arabic, deriving for najm, meaning "star".
Pronounced NEJ-muh.
