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”).
