Etymology

(Where does the name come from? How is it pronounced? What is the name in local language?)

The Aroman name for Qubdi, Kýptos (Γυπτος), comes from the Classical Adapton Occidental Aroman name ku-pi-ti-jo. This Adapton form is likely from Middle Qubdian kꜣ ptḥ, meaning "the kꜣ of Ptah". The god Ptah was worshipped at a temple complex near Taqdir.

The Anglish name Qubdi is also derived from the Classical Aroman "ku-pi-ti-yo". Compare this to the Hakkadian "ku-up-ta-aḫ". In Sahrabic it is known as "qubṭī" or "قبط" ("qubṭ"). In Oharic the name is Gubita ("mound").
