Saadia is a very old name : http://www.yucs.org/~jules/names/masc/saadiah.htmlSaadia means "help of G-d", and Saad means "he [G-d] helps". Saadia is no female form of Saad.
The name Saada, "help", is female though.Check:

Could it be a variant of Sa'd (Sad)? The feminine form of Sa'd is Sa'dia (Sadia).
