Sajah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sajah

What is the meaning of the name Sajah ?

The baby name Sajah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sah-JAH (IPA: /sɑːˈdʒɑː/).

Sajah is Arabic in Origin.

Sajah is an Arabic feminine name (سجاح, Sajāḥ) from the root s‑j‑ḥ, conveying smoothness, levelness, and ease. As a given name it suggests composure and even temper, sometimes glossed as serene or straightforward. It is distinct from Saja/Sajaa (سجى, “tranquil night”), though often conflated. Transliterations include Sajāh and, regionally, Sajeh.

The name is best known from Sajah bint al‑Hārith, a 7th‑century Arab tribal leader and seer who briefly claimed prophethood during the Ridda period and later allied with, and in some reports married, Musaylima. While that association once made the name controversial, contemporary use is uncommon but steady across the Arab world and the diaspora, chosen for its soft sound and classical pedigree. Related names include Saja and Sajida, though they stem from different roots.
