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.
Geography
Khurd is situated in the central region of Jhelum Tehsil, nestled in the plains between the Jhelum River and the Salt Range.
