Halide is Arabic, Turkish in Origin.
Halide is the Turkish form of Arabic Khālida, خالدة, the feminine active participle of khālid. Its root is the Semitic consonantal base kh-l-d, expressed in the verb khalada, to remain, endure, or last perpetually. The literal sense is abiding, eternal, or everlasting; Turkish adapts the initial Arabic kh sound to h and writes the name as Halide, with dotted i in standard orthography.
The name belongs chiefly to Turkish naming tradition, alongside the masculine Halit, while Arabic-speaking communities use Khalida or Khaleda. It was familiar in the late Ottoman and early Republican periods; the writer and political figure Halide Edib Adıvar gave it particular visibility in modern Turkish history. Azerbaijani has the related Xalidə. In contemporary use, Halide reads as a traditional Turkish feminine name rather than a newly fashionable import.
