From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bilkisu // ⓘ is a feminine given name of Nigerian origin, used by the Hausa and Yoruba people, though the Yoruba normally render it with an extra “i” (Bilikisu). It is derived from بلقيس (Bilqis), the Arabic name for the Queen of Sheba. The “q” is converted to a “k,” and a terminal vowel is added, typical of West African names.
