خَضْرَةُ: أخضر، مُورِق
Khadra (خضرة) literally means “green, verdant” and is derived from the Arabic root kh-ḍ-r (خ-ض-ر) which denotes greenery and freshness. The name is used across Arabophone lands and historically appears in Bosnian Muslim usage through Ottoman-era cultural exchange; it is recorded in family name lists and local registers rather than as a major classical personality in primary Islamic texts. Khadra is not a Quranic proper name. As a nature-derived Islamic feminine name, it emphasizes life, renewal and fertility. Related names often considered in the same semantic field include [[Khadija]] for historical resonance and [[Khairah]] for a virtuous nuance. Khadra remains rare in modern national registries yet familiar in oral naming traditions in some communities; it suits parents seeking a concise Arabic name clearly tied to natural imagery and Islamic cultural usage.
