Khaleelah is a unique and beautiful name of Arabic origin, meaning "one who seeks divine favor." It is often associated with royalty due to its use by several historical figures, such as the caliph Harun al-Rashid's sister, Khaleelah al-Kabir. In modern times, it has gained popularity beyond the Middle East, appreciated for its distinctive sound and rich history.
The name Khaleelah had its peak popularity in 1977 with 22 births that year, but it has generally been less common since then, with most years having fewer than 10 births each. There was a gap of more than a decade between the last birth recorded in 1985 and the next one in 1996.
