Kadirah is Arabic in Origin.

Kadirah is the anglicized feminine form of Arabic Qādirah (قادرة), derived from the Semitic root Q-D-R, which conveys ability, power, capacity, and worth. As a participial adjective, qādirah means “capable” or “powerful,” and the root also underlies the theonyms al-Qādir and al-Qadīr, “the All-Powerful,” among the 99 Names of God in Islam. The initial K reflects a common transliteration choice for Arabic qāf in English.

As a given name, Kadirah has circulated in Arabic-speaking communities and spread through the global Muslim diaspora; the specific K- spelling gained modest use in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century. Variants include Qadira, Qadirah, Kadira, Kadeera, and Kadeerah; related masculine forms are Qadir and Kadir, and compound devotional names such as Abd al-Qadir. Short forms like Kadi or Kady sometimes appear informally. Overall, Kadirah conveys a sense of strength, competence, and dignity.
