Sajda is a feminine given name from Arabic sajdah (سجدة), “prostration,” the act of bowing in Muslim prayer.

The term appears repeatedly in the Qur’an and in the title of Surah As-Sajda, giving the name associations of devotion, humility, and nearness to God. In use since the early Islamic period, it is found across the Arab world, South Asia, and Muslim diasporas.

Transliterations vary by region, with the final h often omitted in South Asian and English usage. The name endures for its clear spiritual meaning and understated sound, making it a timeless choice in contemporary Muslim naming traditions.
