Qudsiyah is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.
Qudsiyah (also Qudsiyyah) is an Arabic feminine name formed by the nisba suffix -iyyah from quds, the Semitic root Q-D-S denoting holiness and purity. It literally means holy, sacred, or saintly, and by extension one devoted to the Sacred. The root underlies al-Quddus (the All-Holy, a Name of God) and al-Quds (Jerusalem), reinforcing its aura of sanctity.
The name appears across Arab lands and the wider Persianate and South Asian Muslim world, carried by figures such as Qudsia Begum of Bhopal (r. 1819–1837) and the Pakistani writer Bano Qudsia. Common variants and transliterations include Qudsiya, Qudsia, Qudsya, Qudsiyyah, and Persian Ghodsieh/Ghodsiyeh; Bosnian Kudsija and South Asian Gudsia also occur. The masculine counterpart is Qudsi. Though not among the most common modern choices, Qudsiyah retains a classical, reverent tone suited to families seeking a name with clear spiritual resonance.
Qudsiyah is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 10 times, across 6 countries.
