Meaning & History
Means "little short one" or "short-statured" in Arabic, derived from a diminutive that ultimately comes from the Arabic verb حذف (hadafa) or (hadhafa) meaning "to shorten, to reduce" as well as "to remove, to take away". The diminutive in question is also used in reference to a lamb and/or a teal (some birds from the genus Anas).A famous bearer of this name is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (died in 656 AD), a sahabi ("companion") of the Prophet Muhammad.
