This is probable a feminine form of Qaadir, which according to A Dictionary of Muslim Names by Salahuddin Ahmed, means "able, capable, powerful".

The spelling "Qadirah" with the above meaning is listed in The Complete Book of Muslim & Parsi Names by Maneka Gandhi & Ozair Husain.

P.S. The male form is in the dictionary on this site with the spelling "Qadir".
