Around the world, ﺧﺎﻟﺪ (ﺧﺎﻟﺪ 
) is a common masculine first name. The forename ﺧﺎﻟﺪ is habitual in Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently girly name, Libya, and Egypt, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Egypt, Sudan, and Syria. Much less frequently, ﺧﺎﻟﺪ is the last name as well as the forename.
