An alternative spelling of 'haji,' referring to a Muslim who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca, or the Egyptian cobra snake.
From Arabic 'ḥāj,' the masculine form of someone who has completed the Hajj pilgrimage. Also used as a name for the Egyptian cobra (asp), likely from the cobra's distinctive behavior or appearance.
The Egyptian cobra was sacred in ancient Egypt and associated with protection and royalty—the same Arabic word for a pilgrim also became the name for this deadly snake!
