About the name Siti Hajar

Siti is a Malay honorific meaning lady. Hajar is the Arabic form of Hagar, in Islamic tradition the second wife of Ibrahim and mother of Ismail. Hagar possibly means 'flight' in Hebrew or comes from an unknown Egyptian name, so the meaning of Hajar is uncertain. According to JPN, it peaked in the 1980s with 4,221 baby girls.
