What People Usually Mean by This Name
The Turkish form of the Arabic بلقيس (Bilqis), the name preserved in classical Islamic tradition for the Queen of Sheba, whose meeting with the Prophet Sulaiman (AS) is retold in Surah An-Naml (27:22 to 44). She saw the sun's throne miraculously transported and, unlike her people, chose faith over pride.
The Quran remembers her as a queen who ruled with counsel and who accepted evidence with grace: 'My Lord, I have wronged myself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, Lord of the worlds' (27:44). Her surrender is one of the great conversions in the Quranic narrative.
Belkis is the beloved Turkish form. In using it a family names a daughter after a queen whose crown never blocked her recognition of the truth.
