Rojda (روجدا) is a Kurdish female name deriving from roj 'day' or 'sun' and a feminine/name-forming element; in usage its semantic range includes 'sunrise', 'daylight' and figuratively 'born of the day'. Attested in Kurdish onomastics and local registration, Rojda appears in both Kurmanji and Sorani speaking areas and is used by families valuing imagery of light and dawn. The name is not a Qur'anic term but forms part of regional naming traditions, similar in theme to [[Nujin]] and [[Rojan]] where natural and temporal phenomena inform personal names. Pronunciation is typically ROZH-da (/ˈroʒda/). Historical references are sociolinguistic; Rojda is cited in ethnographic records and modern civil registries as a distinct feminine given name.
