A Arabic name gently fading from the charts.
Qusay is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, believed to mean 'distant' or 'far away.' The name appears in early Islamic history as Qusay ibn Kilab, a powerful ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad and a revered figure in the Quraysh tribe of Mecca.
Qusay carries deep roots in Arab heritage and is especially meaningful to Muslim families seeking a name that honors the early lineage of Islamic civilization.
Qusay has 16+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2008.
