Khadeejah

Meaning of Khadeejah

Khadeejah is a graceful Arabic name that dances off the tongue with vibrant energy. It honors Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the first beloved wife of the Prophet Muhammad—an inspiring entrepreneur and leader in 7th-century Arabia. The name means “early baby,” a poetic whisper of fresh beginnings. Khadeejah carries the warmth of family gatherings, like marigold garlands at an Indian wedding or the gentle glow of jasmine-scented evening air. In English it’s pronounced kuh-DEE-jah, in Arabic kha-dee-JAH, and in French ka-dee-JAH. Rare but steady, it’s hovered in the US top 1000—around rank 945 in 2024. It’s like a hidden treasure in a bustling bazaar of names, ready to charm in both a royal court and a playground.
