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.

Wed, 2009/04/29 - 17:24Just came across this page, and its great to see how many Khalid's are around :) I am Palestinian, and I pray that one day a 'real' Khalid (with Khalid Ibn Al Waleed's intelligence and courage), will liberate my country and free us, the Palestinians, from the clutches of our inhumane occupiers.
