Dejah

In Disney's John Carter, Dejah Thoris was a Princess of Helium on the planet Mars. She was a scientist and was skilled in combat as well. Helium was at war with Zodanga, and Dejah was betrothed to their leader Sab Than. The Earth man, John Carter, helped her fight the Therns and bring peace to her planet. The two fell in love and were married. 

Dejah is a variant of the French name Deja, and means 'remembrance' or 'before.' It is also sometimes used as a nickname for Dejanira, a variation of Deianeira, who was the wife of Hercules. Dejah made it into the top 1,000 names in four different years, 1996 (#982), 1998 (#784), 1999 (#671), and 2000 (#927). In 2014, 33 girls were named Dejah, and 118 were named Deja.
