What is the meaning of the name Khulud ?

The baby name Khulud is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /xʊˈluːd/ — common respelling: KHUH-LOOD or KHU-LOOD (Arabic: خُلُود / خلود).

Khulud is Arabic in Origin.

Khulud (Arabic: خلود, transliterated Khulūd) is an Arabic feminine name derived from the triliteral root kh-l-d, which expresses lastingness and staying. As a noun in Classical Arabic, khulūd denotes eternity, abiding life, or permanence; Qur’anic phrases such as jannāt al-khuld (“Gardens of Eternity”) use the term to describe the afterlife. As a given name it gained wider currency in the 20th century across the Levant, the Gulf, and North Africa, favored for its serene, aspirational meaning.

Common spellings include Khulūd, Khulood, Kholoud, Khouloud, and Kholod; all reflect regional transliteration conventions. The name is closely related to Khalid (male) and Khalida (female), which come from the same root and carry the sense “everlasting.” Khulud therefore conveys “eternity,” “immortality,” or “abiding,” evoking enduring virtue and steadfastness, and remains popular among Arabic-speaking communities and their diasporas.
