I named my daughter Deja in 1986. Her name was inspired by a science fiction novel written by Robert A Heinlein.
I’m Canadian and my daughter lives in Canada. Please rectify your records. Thanks.
My name is Deja. I want to know if I am the first- I was born 1979.
Deja comes from Deianira, (also Deïanira, Deianeira or Dejanira), is a figure in Greek mythology whose name translates as "man-destroyer" or "destroyer of her husband". The name Deianira refers to two separate characters in Greek mythology. The better-known Deianira was a wife of Heracles and, in late Classical accounts, his unwitting murderer, killing him with the poisoned Shirt of Nessus. She is the main character in Sophocles' play Women of Trachis. The less well-known Deianira was an Amazon, killed by Heracles during his quest for the girdle of Hippolyta.
This is a sentence fragment, not a name. That is to say, in French language, "de ja" is an incomplete thought, and would not make sense as a proper name to a French speaker.
