Qadirah is Arabic in Origin.
Qadirah (Arabic: قادرة, qādirah) is the feminine participial form from the Semitic root Q‑D‑R, “to be able, to decree.” It conveys “capable, powerful, able; competent,” and is linguistically tied to the Divine epithets Al‑Qādir/Al‑Qadīr (“the All‑Powerful”) in Islam. Common variants reflect transliteration and regional phonology: Qadira, Qadeera; with k‑initial forms Kadira/Kadeera also seen. Related male forms include Qadir, Qadeer, and the compound Abdul‑Qadir/Abdelkader.
As a given name, Qadirah appears across Arabic‑ and Urdu‑speaking communities and among Muslim diasporas, sometimes chosen to honor the attribute of divine power or to evoke personal strength and capability. Classical Arabic uses qādirah more as an adjective than as a personal name, but modern registries show modest, steady adoption. Note the distinction from Khadira/Khadra (“green, verdant”), a separate Arabic root despite similar sound.
