What People Usually Mean by This Name
The eternal one, the everlasting, from the root خ-ل-د (khalada, to remain forever, to abide). The Quran uses this exact root for the everlasting reward of the believers: 'They will abide therein eternally (khalidina fiha)', a phrase that recurs more than seventy times to describe Paradise.
The name belongs above all to Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA), the brilliant general the Prophet ﷺ titled Sayfullah al-Maslul, 'the Drawn Sword of Allah'. Khalid commanded the cavalry against the Muslims at Uhud (when he was still a Qurayshi pagan) but accepted Islam in 8 AH and from that moment forward never lost a battle. He led the Muslim armies at Mu'tah after the death of three commanders, took command at the Riddah Wars under Abu Bakr, and broke the Byzantine army decisively at Yarmouk in 15 AH, opening Greater Syria to Islam. He died of natural causes in Homs in 21 AH; his last words were a complaint that he had wanted to die a martyr in battle.
