What the word means
A coined name: Ibn Jinnī, quoted in Lisān, says it is not the feminine of kabsh, “ram”.
Classical Arabic names often came from strong or striking things in the desert world; the name is loved for who carried it.

قَالَ ابْنُ جِنِّيٍّ: كبْشةُ اسْمٌ مُرْتجَل لَيْسَ بِمُؤَنَّثِ الكبْش الدَّالِّ عَلَى الْجِنْسِ لأَن مُؤَنَّثَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ لَفْظِهِ وَهُوَ نَعْجَةٌ.
