The baby name Belkis is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BEL-kis (IPA: /ˈbɛlkɪs/).
Belkis is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.
Belkis is a feminine given name rooted in the Arabic Bilqis/Balqis (بلقيس), the Qur’anic and classical Islamic name of the Queen of Sheba. Through Ottoman and modern Turkish it appears as Belkıs, and it also circulates in Persian and Urdu as Bilqis, Bilquis, or Bilqees. The spelling Belkis is widespread in parts of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and Latin America, as well as in the Balkans, reflecting long-standing cultural contact with Arabic and Ottoman spheres. Medieval Arabic literature and later Orientalist translations popularized the form Balkis in European languages.
The meaning of Bilqis is uncertain; no consensus etymology exists, though scholars often point to a South Arabian or Sabaean source. Owing to its royal bearer in scripture and legend, the name evokes wisdom, diplomacy, and magnificence. Documented variants include Bilqis, Balqis, Bilquis, Bilqees, Belkıs, Balkis, Belquis, and Belqis. Usage is steady yet modest, appealing as a cross-cultural, regal, and storied choice.
