Kudsi is an Arabic-derived name from Qudsī (قدسي), the nisba adjective built on quds “holiness” and al‑Quds “Jerusalem,” giving the senses “sacred” and “of Jerusalem.” In Islamic usage, ḥadīth qudsī means “sacred sayings,” reinforcing the reverent tone.

The form appears across the Arabic-speaking world and nearby cultures, long used as the byname/surname al‑Qudsī for people linked to Jerusalem and, more recently, as a given name, notably in Turkey and the Levant. Spellings vary by language and transliteration: Qudsi, Qodsi/Qodsī (Persian), and Turkish Kutsi. Feminine counterparts include Qudsia/Qudsiyah (“holy”). Usage remains uncommon but recognizable in religious and literary contexts.
