What is the meaning of the name Kholod ?

The baby name Kholod is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'ipa': '/xuˈluːd/', 'respelling': 'khoo-LOOD (KH = voiceless velar fricative like Arabic خ)'}.

Kholod is Arabic in Origin.

Kholod is an Arabic feminine given name corresponding to Khulūd (خلود), from the triliteral root kh-l-d meaning “to last, remain,” hence “eternity, immortality, abiding.” It is etymologically related to the male name Khalid and the feminine Khalida/Khaleda. The spelling with o reflects dialectal pronunciation and varied Romanization; common variants include Khulud, Khulood, Kholoud, Khouloud, and Holoud. Usage rose across the Levant, Gulf, and North Africa in the later 20th century and continues among Arab diasporas.

The root appears frequently in classical Arabic and the Qur’an (e.g., khālidīn, “abiding forever”), lending the name a spiritual, enduring tone. Outside Arabic, Kholod is very rare as a given name. Note that in Russian and Ukrainian kholod means “cold” and is a surname, which can color perception in Slavic contexts. Approximate pronunciation: kho-LOOD, with kh as a voiceless velar fricative.
