History & Origin

Sajida comes from Arabic sajida, the feminine of sajid, from the root s-j-d, 'to prostrate oneself'. It means 'one who bows in worship' — the same root that produces masjid, 'mosque'. It is a devotional name used across the Arab world and South Asia, and we note its religious weight respectfully (said 'SAH-jih-duh').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely for girls. Rare, devout, and softly rhythmic.
