Xudayar is a historically attested name rooted in the Persianate culture of Transoxiana, most notably borne by Khudayar Khan, the 19th-century ruler of the Khanate of Kokand. The name synthesizes Persian theophoric elements with Turkic linguistic heritage, representing a devout companion of the Divine. Unlike more common names such as [[Khalil]] or [[Dost]], Xudayar remains exceptionally rare in modern usage, offering a distinctive connection to Central Asian Islamic history and the spiritual concept of friendship with God (Khalilullah).
