, খলিফা) is a common principally masculine, but scarcely feminine first name. The given name খলিফা is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Bahrain, where it is quite a common boy's name, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Algeria, Morocco, and United Arab Emirates. More prevalently, খলিফা is the last name as well as the forename.
