Best Answer

It means The Head of the Tent, Top of the Tent or Headland.

Some believe it is headland because of it's land jutting out to the sea. Other mainly believe it is because in the past the ruler Sheikh Al Qasimi, chose it as his home and placed his tent there. From then on, for sailors out at sea it became a landmark known as The head of the Tent or Top of the tent.
