Etymology
Khurd is a term derived from the Persian language meaning small. In both India and Pakistan, Khurd serves as an administrative designation indicating the smaller segment of a town, village, or settlement, usually added after place names. Nevertheless, in this particular case, Khurd functions independently as the village's name.[4]
Geography
Khurd is situated in the central region of Jhelum Tehsil, nestled in the plains between the Jhelum River and the Salt Range.[5]
