Hajara
Meaning of Hajara
Hajara drifts in on the desert wind, a lyrical Arabic name that echoes the story of Hajar—known in the Biblical and Qur’anic traditions as the courageous mother who braved the sands to protect her son, Ishmael. Meaning “stone,” Hajara carries the quiet strength of an ancient rock face and the sparkle of the Black Stone in Mecca, yet she feels just as comfortable dancing through a modern park as maracas hum in the background. In the United States she’s still a hidden gem, fluttering around the 900-rank mark with barely a handful of births each year, which means your little Hajara will probably be the only one at her preschool fiesta. The name rolls off the tongue—hah-JAH-ruh—like a gentle guitar strum, warm, rhythmic, and just bold enough to turn heads without shouting.
