The surname Najah seems to be most popular in Morocco. I encountered a Polish (presumably Ashkenazi Jewish - she works at the Jewish theatre in Warsaw and also performs in Yiddish) actress and singer named Sylwia Najah. I haven't been able to find any information about her origins that would suggest she was North African. Does anyone know anything about the origins of this surname?
