History & Origin

Dajah is a modern coinage built for its smooth, breathy sound, in the same family as Asia, Dasia and Aaliyah. Rather than carrying an older meaning, it was assembled from a bright Da- opening and a soft -jah close, a very nineties recipe.

A girl named Dajah at its 1999 peak is now in her mid-twenties. The name reads as late-nineties; it has an easy, flowing sound and sits naturally beside Asia and Dasia.

Did you know? Soft, vowel-rich names like Asia and Aaliyah were fashionable in the nineties; Dajah rode that current to its high point in 1999.
