The Queen of Yemen, which was the land of Sheba during the time of Solomon, was named Bilqis, (pronounced bil-KEES). Have never found out the true meaning of the name, but it's a common name used in the middle east.

I was in Peace Corps Yemen many years ago, a high point of my life, and bilqis was an unusual name on the internet so thought I'd use it. It's been my internet nick for so long now, that it feels just like my real name.
