Khalea is English in Origin.

Khalea is a modern feminine given name whose form suggests a blend of influences. Many see it as a stylized variant of Arabic Khalilah/Khalila (from khalīl, “friend; beloved”), while others connect it to Hawaiian Kalea (“joy; to brighten, to cheer”). The -lea ending also echoes English names like Leah, further encouraging creative spellings with an initial Kh- that cues Arabic phonology.

In use chiefly in the United States since the late 20th century, Khalea remains uncommon but fits contemporary tastes for smooth, lilting syllables and cross-cultural resonance. Variant spellings include Khaleah, Khalia, Khaliyah, and Khaleia; related forms are Kalea and Kalia. Short forms such as Khali or Lea are typical. Because it is a modern coinage rather than a single traditional name, meanings are usually interpreted: popular readings include “beloved friend,” “joy,” or “to bring cheer.”
