The name is formed from the feminine active participle of the verb wajjara (وَجَّرَ), which is a facilitated form of the verb awajjara (أَوَجَّرَ). It literally means 'the one who rewards,' 'the one who compensates,' or 'she who provides remuneration.' The name carries connotations of justice, recompense, and the giving of earned wages or benefits. It can also mean 'the one who benefits' or 'she who receives a reward,' depending on the grammatical perspective.

“It is not for the people of al-Medina and those around them of the Bedouins to remain behind the Messenger of Allah, nor should they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the way of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is written for them as a deed of righteousness. Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.”
