The newborn child or the son
Derived from the Arabic root 'walada' meaning to give birth, Alwaleed specifically refers to a newborn or a young child. The prefix 'Al-' is the definite article 'the', giving the name a formal and distinguished feel. It is a name traditionally associated with royalty and leadership in the Arab world.
