Khaalida is Arabic in Origin.

Khaalida is the Arabic feminine form of Khalid, from the triliteral root kh-l-d (خلد) meaning “to endure, remain.” As the active participle خالدة (khālida), it conveys “everlasting, immortal; abiding.” The doubled a in Khaalida is a transliteration choice that marks the long ā vowel; other scholarly renderings use a macron (Khālida). The name resonates with Qur’anic language (khālidīna fīhā, “abiding therein”), evoking steadfastness and permanence.

Used across the Arab world and in Muslim communities of North Africa and South Asia, the form Khalida is most common in English, Urdu, and Persian contexts; Khaalida and Khalidah also appear. Turkish adapted the name as Halide (e.g., Halide Edib), while related feminine Khulūd/Khulood shares the same root. Notable modern bearers include Algerian politician Khalida Toumi, Pakistani actress Khalida Riyasat, and activist Khalida Brohi. Masculine counterparts are Khalid and Khaled.
