Khawla meaning
Khawla (خولہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
A female gazelle
Khawla (خولہ) is an Arabic word that Lane's lexicon, citing the classical dictionaries, defines as a female gazelle. The gazelle is a favourite image of grace and beauty in Arabic poetry, and several women Companions of the Prophet bore the name, among them Khawla bint Thaʿlaba, whose complaint is linked to the opening of Surah al-Mujadila. Khawla bint al-Azwar is remembered in tradition as a warrior in the early conquest of Syria. Name lists give the meaning as "gazelle". In India the name is often spelled Khaula.
