Khadija is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic meaning "trustworthy" or "early baby," believed to refer to a child born prematurely. Khadijah bint Khuwaylid was the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad and the first person to convert to Islam — one of the most revered women in Islamic history.
Khadija is one of the most sacred names in the Muslim world, honoring the woman who was the Prophet's confidante, business partner, and spiritual support. In the United States, it has grown steadily within Muslim communities as a name of profound devotion and historical honor.
