History & Origin
Malajah appears in United States records from the late 1990s as an inventive girls' name. It joins a Ma- opening with the -ajah ending seen in Anajah and Najah; its charm is rhythm rather than a traceable meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-2010s high. A girl named Malajah then is a teenager now; the name remains a rare, of-its-moment coinage.
