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

Pronounced as Khateeb, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Khateeb comes from the Arabic root kh-t-b, meaning “to address” or preach. A “khatib” delivers the “khutbah,” the sermon given before Friday congregational prayer.
