Khadijiah
Khadijiah Origin and Meaning
Khadijiah is a feminine name derived from the Arabic name Khadijah, which was the name of the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad in Islam. Khadijah is highly respected in Islamic tradition for being the first person to convert to Islam and for her unwavering support of Muhammad. The variant Khadijiah adds an additional syllable to the traditional spelling, giving it a slightly more elaborate sound. While not as common as the original Khadijah, Khadijiah maintains the name's strong historical and religious significance. The name carries meanings of 'early baby' or 'premature child' in its Arabic origins and symbolizes trustworthiness, dignity, and intelligence. It remains relatively rare in Western countries but holds special significance for Muslim families.
