Meaning and background
The story behind Khadijah
Khadijah is documented as an alternate transcription of the Arabic name Khadija and as the usual Malay form. The final h belongs to that written representation; it should not be silently removed because another spelling is more familiar. The cited Arabic pronunciation includes sounds that an English approximation can miss. If an owner chooses it to honour a person, their own reading is the best practical guide. This profile records the exact transcription relationship without assigning a new meaning merely from the added letter.
