What does Inaya mean?

Inaya (عناية, 'inaya) comes from the Arabic root '-n-y and means 'care, concern, solicitude', often with the devotional sense of God's care and protection. Inaya is the more common spelling in Arabic script; Anaya is the same word in a different transliteration.

What does Khadija mean?

Khadija (خديجة, Khadija) is classically explained from the root kh-d-j with the sense of an 'early' or premature birth. Its prominence comes above all from Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad and the first person to accept Islam, so the name's religious and historical weight dominates its everyday meaning.
