Can anyone tell me the origin of this word, I tried to find it but I couldn't. some one told me that this word was actually a persian idol which was worshipped in Iran long time ago.

As-salaamu `alaykum.
I heard the same, while it does mean God in Farsi, it's foundation I was informed, goes back to some Persian Idol.
Allaah knows best. I don't know why people substitute Allaah Hafiz and Khuda Hafiz with the Salaams anyway.

it seems to me that the word " khuda " seems to cause much debate or many meanings. we muslims know that our God's name is ALLAH and he has 99 other names and attributes none of which are named " khuda " , so i think we should just use the names that we know ALLAH SWT by and avoid using names given by the disbelievers.

Khuda does not mean Allaah. Allaah is from Al-Ilah, which means "The One who deserves worship", it is definite whereas Khuda is indefinite and simply means god or deity. Allaah is specific to the creator, whereas Khuda is unrestriced and is used for any deity, so the Hindus call some of their gods Khuda, as well as some of the pagan Persians. This fact alone should be enough for a Muslim to refrain from using the term, let alone the possibility that it's origins lies with an idol in of itself.
