Meaning and origin of Haajar
Haajar is one spelling of Hājar, who was married to the Prophet Ibrāhīm and gave birth to the Prophet Ismāʿīl. When she ran between the hills of Safa and Marwa searching for water for her baby, she set a pattern that every pilgrim follows in the saʿy of Hajj and Umrah. People often link the name to the Arabic verb hajara, to migrate. Its true source, however, is the biblical name Hagar.
