Khadheeja
Khadheeja represents the Maldivian Latin-script spelling of Khadija, structured to reflect vowel length clearly in accordance with Dhivehi pronunciation.
In the Maldives, the name is written in Thaana script as ޚަދީޖާ, closely corresponding to the original Arabic form Khadījah. The doubled "ee" in Khadheeja mirrors the long "ī" sound (ީ), while the final "-a" reflects the extended vowel ending (ާ) heard in local recitation.
Through centuries of Islamic scholarship and cultural exchange across the Indian Ocean, Arabic-origin names became firmly embedded in Dhivehi naming tradition. Khadheeja remains a familiar feminine name in Maldivian society, combining accurate phonetic representation with longstanding religious heritage.
