What People Usually Mean by This Name
Holy, sacred, set apart in purity, from the Arabic root ق-د-س (qadusa, to be holy, to be utterly pure). The same root gives Al-Quddus (الْقُدُّوس), one of the ninety-nine names of Allah, meaning 'the Holy One, the One free of every imperfection.' The name appears in the Quran twice, both times in striking declarations of divine perfection: 'He is Allah, besides whom there is no god, the King, the Holy, the Source of Peace' (59:23) and 'Whatever is in the heavens and earth glorifies Allah, the King, the Holy, the Mighty, the Wise' (62:1).
The same root gives al-Quds, the Arabic name for Jerusalem, literally 'the Holy.' It is also the source of Bayt al-Maqdis (the Sanctified House, the Al-Aqsa precinct), al-ard al-muqaddasah (the Holy Land, mentioned in 5:21), and Ruh al-Qudus (the Holy Spirit, the title given to Jibreel in the Quran).
To name a girl Qudsia is to name her with this entire family of holiness, the holiness of the divine name, the holiness of the city, the holiness of the angel of revelation. Top Pakistani Muslim girls name; widely used across Pakistan, India, and the South Asian Muslim diaspora. Variants: Qudsia, Qudsiya, Qudsiyah.
