Dejah

Dejah Thoris is the name of a fictional character and princess of the Martian city-state/empire of Helium on the planet Barsoom (Mars) in American author Edgar Rice Burroughs's series of Martian novels (the first of which was published in 1912). She is the love interest and later the wife of John Carter, an Earthman mystically transported to Mars, and subsequently the mother of their son Carthoris and daughter Tara. She plays the role of the conventional damsel in distress who must be rescued from various perils, but is also portrayed as a competent and capable adventurer in her own right, fully capable of defending herself and surviving on her own in the wastelands of Mars. She is also the star of Dynamite's comic series 'Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris'. She was portrayed by American actress Traci Lords in the straight-to-DVD adaptation 'Princess of Mars', and by American actress Lynn Collins in the Disney film 'John Carter'.

Usage of this name may be because of the character, or as a variant of Deja.
