قطب الدين
Kutbettin (Turkish: Kutbettin) derives from the Arabic honorific **Qutb al-Din** (قطب الدين), combining 'Qutb' (pole, axis, or highest point) and 'al-Din' (the religion). In Islamic tradition, a 'Qutb' refers to a spiritual axis or the highest saint in the Sufi hierarchy who sustains the world. This name was historically prominent in Ottoman scholarly circles, borne by judges, theologians, and Sufi masters. While rare in modern Turkey, it represents a profound connection to classical Islamic scholarship. Japanese Muslims seeking unique historical names with Turkish roots have occasionally adopted Kutbettin, pronounced as 'Kutobettin' (クトベッティン) in Japanese phonetics. The name embodies the concept of being a central support for the Islamic faith. Related names include [[Qutb al-Din]], [[Kutbeddin]], and [[Filsan]] for those seeking rare cross-cultural Islamic names.
