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".
