Meaning & History
Derived from Arabic كَوْكَب (kawkab) meaning "star, planet" (more precisely, this word occurs in the Quran meaning either "star" or "planet", whereas in modern Arabic its meaning is generally limited to "planet" - the word نَجْم (najm) is used to mean "star").A known female bearer of this name is Kaukab Stewart (b. 1967 or 1968), a Pakistani-born Scottish politician.
