Full Meaning of Kabeys

Kabeys is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means  “acquirer of knowledge”, someone who is wise and learned. It is derived from the Q-B-S (“to acquire something from a larger thing”, “to acquire a torch from a fire” ) root which is used twice in the Quran.

Tell of Moses who said to his family, ‘I have seen a fire. I will bring you news from there, or a torch for you to warm yourselves.’ (Quran 27:7)
