About the name Khaled
Khaled belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Khaled first appears in Social Security records in 1969. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1506 in 2016, and in 2024 114 babies received the name — 2,686 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
