What is the meaning of the name Khouloud ?

The baby name Khouloud is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced khoo-LOOD (IPA: /xuːluːd/).

Khouloud is Arabic in Origin.

Khouloud (Arabic: خلود, pronounced khoo-LOOD) is an Arabic feminine given name derived from the triliteral root kh-l-d, which conveys the sense of lastingness and eternity. As a noun in classical Arabic, khulud denotes immortality or perpetual abiding, a term that appears in Qur'anic language about everlasting paradise and punishment and in pre-modern poetry to evoke permanence. The name therefore carries the meaning "eternity," "everlasting," or "enduring."

Used across the Arab world and the diaspora, Khouloud became especially popular in the later 20th century as a modern virtue name. Spelling varies with regional transcription: Khulood, Kholoud, Khulud, Khaloud, and, less commonly, Kholod. It is cognate with the masculine Khalid/Khaled ("eternal"), but remains distinctively feminine. Common pet forms include Loulou and Khoulou. The name's enduring connotation appeals to parents seeking a lyrical choice that signals lasting faith, memory, and steadfastness.
