Hadji has several meanings:

- Hadji, a character on the TV animated series Jonny Quest

- A hajji, a Muslim who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj

- Youssef Hadji and Mustapha Hadji, football (soccer) players

- Hadji, Coalition forces slang for an Iraqi during the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. This is because most of them don't know what the term actually means.

If you're serious about FID, "The Ugly American" by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick is a MUST READ. Can get it used from Amazon for $3.00. Well worth the money.
