Khadija is an Arabic name meaning “premature child” or “early baby,” derived from the root *khadaja* — though its enduring fame comes from Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad and a successful businesswoman revered as a model of strength and faith. The name has been carried by modern figures such as Khadija Arib, the Dutch politician and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Khadja Nin, the Burundian-born singer known for her world-music hits. While no major place is directly named after a bearer, the name’s root appears in the Moroccan city of Khad
