The name Khalil (in hebrew "Hebron") traces back to two Semitic roots, which coalesce in the form ḥbr, having reflexes in Hebrew and Amorite and denoting a range of meanings from "colleague", "unite" or "friend". In the proper name Hebron, the original sense may have been alliance.

The Arabic term derives from the Qur'anic epithet for Abraham, Khalil al-Rahman (إبراهيم خليل الرحمن) "Beloved of the Merciful" or "Friend of God". Arabic Al-Khalil thus precisely translates the ancient Hebrew toponym Ḥebron, understood as ḥaber (friend).

Answer:

The above answer, copied and pasted verbatim from Wikipedia, seems to conflate Hebrew roots with meaning in Hebrew. Khalil in Arabic or another language may mean the same as the Hebrew "Hebron," but it's a different root. In Hebrew, Khalil is a Flute, not used as a name. It occurs rarely in the Hebrew Bible; an example is 1 Kings 1:40. Hebron as a name occurs in Numbers 3:19.
