Meaning & origin
Dajha is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1994, during the 1990s. It reached its peak popularity in 1997. The name is a creative respelling of Deja, which itself comes from French "déjà" meaning "already." Dajha remains very rare, with no recorded top states, reflecting its niche appeal. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1990s, and it did not see a revival in later decades. The name exemplifies the late 20th-century trend of phonetic respellings and is used almost exclusively for girls.
