Kadidia is of African origin, specifically from West Africa, particularly among Muslim communities. It is derived from the Arabic name Khadija, which means "praiseworthy." This name has a rich historical significance, as it was the name of Prophet Muhammad's first wife. Kadidia is often associated with intelligence and strength, qualities that have been traditionally admired in women bearing this name.
Kadidia's popularity as a baby name has fluctuated over the years, with peaks in 2004 and 2008, and more recent consistency from 2017 onwards. However, there's been a general decline since its peak in 2004.
