Graceful and timeless, the name Khadija is a beautiful choice for a baby girl. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Premature child; First wife of Prophet', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Khadija, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Khadija derives from the Arabic root kh-d-j, referring to a child born prematurely, which classical sources say described her own birth. The name is inseparable from Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the Prophet's first wife, the first person to accept Islam, and one of Islam's most celebrated women.
