Sheba
Biblical Arabian kingdom
Sheba is an ancient kingdom mentioned in the Bible, most famous for its queen who visited King Solomon to test his wisdom with hard questions.
The Queen of Sheba has become a cultural reference point for exotic royalty and feminine allure.
In casual use, calling someone a "queen of Sheba" suggests they're acting entitled or demanding special treatment: Who does she think she is, the Queen of Sheba?
Sheba also appears as a feminine given name.
