Re: Real World Name Origins?
I found myself checking "Khalid" recently. While it's a fairly common name in Arabic, it's also exceptionally fitting for the Archangel of Faith -- the name means "Eternal" or "Immortal."
It probably also doesn't hurt that Khalid ibn al-Walid was a noted military commander who converted to Islam and was a companion of Muhammad himself. At one battle, Khalid is said to have fought so fiercely that he used and broke nine swords.
