Haldun

Haldun, often used as a masculine given name, is of Arabic origin. The name is derived from the root word "khulud" (خلود), which means "eternity," "immortality," or "permanence." Therefore, Haldun can be interpreted to mean "eternal" or "immortal."

The name is most associated with Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), a renowned Arab sociologist, historian, philosopher, and statesman. He is widely considered one of the founders of modern sociology, historiography, demography, and economics. His magnum opus, the Muqaddimah (Introduction), provides a comprehensive analysis of the cyclical nature of civilizations and the factors that contribute to their rise and fall.

The name Haldun is relatively common in Arabic-speaking countries and regions influenced by Islamic culture. It is frequently chosen to honor Ibn Khaldun and to invoke qualities of wisdom, longevity, and enduring legacy.
