Tarji, pronounced TAHR-jee (/tɑrˈdʒi/), is a distinctive feminine name of probable Arabic origin, derived from the root r-j-y (رجى), which conveys “hope” or “expectation.” Its appearance in U.S. Social Security records is modest—five to seven newborns per year between 1967 and 1976—with its peak in 1973 (7 occurrences, rank 738) and otherwise holding positions in the mid-700s. This steady yet limited uptake highlights the name’s understated appeal for parents seeking both meaningful resonance and individuality; few enough to ensure that a toddler named Tarji will seldom respond to roll call alongside three classmates. Analytical review of its brief chart history underscores Tarji’s niche status, symbolizing a quiet optimism for families drawn to rare but thoughtfully rooted names.
