A girls’ name of Arabic origin, meaning premature child, the early one.
Khadijah by the numbers
In 2025, 219 babies in England and Wales were named Khadijah. In the US, 131 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 1,615 babies in 1994, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
