Qubbat translates as "Domes", a reference to the mudbrick domes of the huts built by the local settlers who had formerly lived in the surrounding caves. Al-Kurdi refers to Sheikh Ahmad al-Kurdi, a religious figure honored by the local inhabitants and whose maqam (shrine) is visited on religious occasions.
