The Moroccan-French extended spelling of Walīd (وليد), 'newborn, the one just born', from the root w-l-d ('to give birth'). The same root yields walad (boy, son), wālid (father), wālidah (mother), and the Quranic phrase wālidayn (parents). The Quran commands: wa-bi-l-wālidayni iḥsānā, 'and to your parents do good' (17:23).

The name Walīd, and its extended Moroccan form Oualeed, names the son as one whose lineage is to Khālid ibn al-Walid's father.
