History & Origin

Khadijha is a variant spelling of Khadija, an Arabic name usually glossed as 'premature child' or 'early baby'. Its enormous significance comes from Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad, honored in Islam as an early believer; the name is carried with great respect across the Muslim world.

In the United States this spelling appeared only briefly in the early-to-mid nineteen-nineties and was given to a very small number of girls. Rather than following an American trend, it reflects heritage naming among Muslim families, so its story is one of religious and cultural devotion rather than fashion-driven revival.

Did you know? Khadija was the name of the Prophet Muhammad's first wife, a respected merchant remembered in Islamic tradition as the first person to accept his message, which makes the name deeply honored among Muslim families.
