غادة — بمعنى 'رشيقة، فاتنة، شابة جذابة'
Ghadah (غادة) is a well-documented classical Arabic term and feminine personal name meaning 'graceful' or 'delicately attractive young woman'. The root and form occur in Arabic lexicons and in pre-Islamic and classical Arabic poetry where ghādah denotes a beloved or an enchanting maiden; the lexical sense is preserved in modern dictionaries. As a given name it carries literary connotations rather than direct religious provenance; it was used historically in Arabophone societies and appears occasionally in modern naming, valued for its poetic ease and classical pedigree. For related forms and names with overlapping semantic fields see [[Ghada]] and [[Jamila]]. The name is not a Quranic proper noun but is culturally embedded in Arabic literature and popular naming tradition, especially among families looking for names with classical poetic resonance.
