History & Origin

Jadira appears in United States records from the mid-1970s, carried by both Arabic-influenced and Spanish-speaking families. Its usual link is to the Arabic Jadirah, 'worthy' or 'fitting,' and its flowing sound has kept it in quiet use for decades.

It was never common, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-2000s high and lingering into the 2020s. A Jadira from that peak is in her twenties now.

Did you know? Jadira is most often tied to an Arabic root for 'worthy' or 'deserving,' while also feeling at home among Latina names.
