Khalia is a name of Arabic origin, derived from the male name Khalid. The name Khalid has two main meanings: "immortal" or "eternal" in reference to the prophet Muhammad's uncle who was known for his bravery and heroism; and "wise" or "intelligent," reflecting his wisdom and intelligence.
The female form of Khalid is Khalia, which also carries the same meanings of immortality or eternity, as well as wisdom and intelligence. Despite its male counterpart being more commonly used in Arabic-speaking countries, Khalia has gained popularity in recent years among non-Arabic speakers worldwide due to its unique sound and meaning.
Historically, there are no prominent figures with the name Khalia, as it is a relatively new female form of Khalid. However, it is possible that this may change over time as more individuals adopt and popularize the name.
"The name Khalia experienced a significant increase in popularity over time, with a notable spike from 7 births in 1976 to a peak of 182 births in 2019. However, the number of births has fluctuated annually since then, with 128 births recorded both in 2022 and 2023."
