Sajada
A girl's name of Arabic origin with 44 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Sajada sits in the vintage zone of American naming: first recorded in 1995, peaking in 1995, with 44 total births across its history.
The open, warm quality of its ending — a soft ending that crosses many language boundaries — gives it a distinctive rhythm that pairs well with shorter middle names or surnames.
Sajada is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Sajada is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, derived from the root sajada, meaning 'to prostrate in worship' — the same root as the word masjid (mosque) and sajdah, the act of bowing in Islamic prayer. The name carries a deeply spiritual quality.
Chosen primarily by Muslim families around the world, Sajada reflects a life oriented toward devotion and humility. Its sound is soft and melodic, with the emphasis falling on the second syllable, and it pairs naturally with both Arabic and Western middle names.
EtymologyShow more
Sajada appeared in SSA records in 1995, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly began breaking from generational naming patterns, experimenting with spelling, and treating naming as a form of creative self-expression. Its Arabic roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 44 recorded births, Sajada has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
