Kadeeja is a variant of the Arabic girl’s name Khadija, meaning “early baby.” This may be a fitting name for a little one who came to greet you a little sooner than expected! Khadija was the name of the first wife of the prophet Muhammad. In 1995, it was one of the three most popular names in the Muslim world, along with Aisha and Fatima. Other variants of this name include Khadijah and Khadeeja.
