Khudaij (Arabic – dimunitive of Khadeej) meaning small, young, small bodied,
of small statue, etc. (Dimunitives in Arabic are used to express
endearment).
Roomaanah (Arabic) – a derivative of Raama – to seek or intend. Generally, a
suffix of Alif noon denotes the superlative. Thus, Rooman (fem. Roomaanah)
could mean determined, seeking, etc. A close match is Rummaanah meaning
either pomegranate or navel (anactomy) – which is the centre of the body,
thus, it could mean a central or focal figure, etc.
