Hey this has the same triconsontal root as the Hebrew name kowkab (as in Bar Kochba) which is a boy’s name.
כּוֹכָב kowkab a star, a prince
Notes Strongs #3556: Noun Masculine;
probably from the same as כַּבּוֹן [Kabbown ] (in the sense of rolling) or כָּוָה [kavah ] (in the sense of blazing);
Meaning: 1) star
1a) of Messiah, brothers, youth, numerous progeny, personification, God’s omniscience (fig.)
AV translations: star(-gazer).
Is there an Arabic name that utilizes KWB but is a masculine (since Arabic surnames generally do not derive from girl’s names.
