Khadejah

Khadejah is a variant spelling of Khadijah, a feminine Arabic name with deep historical and religious significance. The name honors Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad and the first person to convert to Islam. The name means 'premature child' or 'early baby' in Arabic, though its associations with the historical Khadijah—known for her intelligence, successful business acumen, and moral character—have given the name connotations of strength, wisdom, and faithfulness. This particular spelling variation, Khadejah, emerged as Arabic names began to be transliterated into English in different ways. The name remains particularly popular among Muslim families worldwide, representing both religious devotion and feminine empowerment.

Pronounced kuh-DAY-juh.
