Dajah is in Origin.

Dajah is a modern American given name, a creative respelling of Deja derived from the French adverb déjà, “already,” best known from the phrase déjà vu. It came into use in the United States toward the end of the 20th century, with notable popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s, especially in African American naming culture. Most speakers pronounce it DAY-zhuh or DEE-zhuh.

Variants and near-variants include Deja, Dejah, Daija, Daijah, Daja, Dayja/Dayjah, and Dejae; the form Dejah is also familiar from the literary character Dejah Thoris, which helped normalize the -jah ending. Although the -jah looks Hebrew, in Dajah it functions mainly as a stylish suffix rather than a theophoric element. The name’s sense derives from its French root, suggesting “already” or a feeling of instant familiarity, giving Dajah a sleek, contemporary aura while remaining simple to spell and say.
