Khaliah
Meaning of Khaliah
Pronounced ka-LIE-uh (/kɑˈlaɪə/), Khaliah is a feminine name of Arabic origin that conveys the sense of “beloved” or “dear friend.” As a variant of Khalilah, it underscores themes of intimacy and loyalty common in Arabic naming customs. In the United States its popularity has remained modest—ranked 928th in 2024 with 22 recorded births—after reaching its highest placement in the mid-700s during the early 1980s. Public attention has occasionally centered on Khaliah Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali, lending the name intermittent recognition. Its steady rarity means parents need not prepare for multiple Khaliahs in the same classroom, making it a distinctive choice that balances cultural resonance with quiet individuality.
