Al Qassim is derived from the word "Qassimah" ((アラビア語:قصيمة)), a reference to قصائم الغضا, meaning the region's sand dunes from which the white saxaul trees grow.〔Ibn Mandhur, Lisan al-Arab, ق-ص-م ()〕 The region is known to contain a large group of Calligonum plants such as comosum (locally known as ''arta'').
