Meanings and history of the name Saadia

Means "of God".
On Yahoo answers I found this, and I thought it was very interesting: (I didn't copy down the question)
"Well, it depends on how it's written in Arabic. Some words which are different in Arabic may have the same spelling when written in English (Latin) characters.

Regarding the word Sadia, it can be considered as either:
ســعـــدية which means cheerful, blessed, happy. This one is a female name.
or
ســادية which basically means sadism. It's not a common word used in every-day language, unless the topic is psychology. This word obviously, is not a given name for people.

Now to avoid confusing between the two words when converted into English characters, the female name (ســعـدية) is often written as Saadia with double A in the middle."
Saadia is my sisters name, but it can also be spelled Sadia.
