Alternate Spellings

The name Khaldun is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Eternal', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Khaldun has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Khaldun comes from the same Arabic root kh-l-d as Khalid, meaning "to last forever."

Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Arabic root ุฎ-ู„-ุฏ (kh-l-d, 'to be eternal'). Khaldun is notably the name of Ibn Khaldun, the 14th-century historian and sociologist regarded as a founder of historiography and sociology.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
