What does the name "Khalid" mean?
Submitted by Khalid on Mon, 2006/01/30 - 21:59.My first name is Khalid. In Arabic, this is خالد. It was originally spelled Khaled with an "e", to be more in line with the Egyptian pronounciation, but at some point I decided that Khalid with an "i" is closer to the classical version. The problem is that in English, this is taken to be a long "i", as in "-leed". It is more like "lid".
Khalid is a pre-Islamic Arabic name meaning "immortal". One of the earliest famous persons called Khalid is Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, a n Arab general whose conquests against the two most powerful empires of the time (Byzantine and Sassanian) brought him everlasting fame. He is one of a few military commanders who never knew defeat in battle.

Every country must have such a hero
I know you have spelling problems in English for your name, i think English speakers prefer to adapt the spelling in their language which doesn't feel fair to me. I my self am trying to spell correctly. Regarding the hero, i admire that, he gain his own immortality in battles and wars, we have few the same in our country.
Khalid
Khalid means eternal.... and even though this page is about the name Khalid, My name is Maisha and my name means Life, my boyfriend name is Khalid... Get it?
Khalid= Eternal + Maisha= Life = Eternal Life
I thought that was really cool...

but if your Muslim then you should be ashamed for posting that you have a boyfriend as it is not permitted in Islam regardless of the time you live in.
