One likely explanation of the meaning, from
http://www.yementimes.com/01/iss05/culture.htm
"The name should be connected to kings of Sheba and the engravings available. the name is made of 'Bilq' or 'Balq' and 'Iees'. According to the Al-Muheet Arabic Dictionary, 'Balq' means whiteness and 'Bilq' means sharp redness while 'Iees' is the god of the Sun. Thus Bilqees means 'the redness and whiteness bestowed by the god of the Sun' or 'the women of the sun beauty' or 'of the divine beauty.'
