Qayyum may be the second half of the male Muslim given name
Also, it's one of the names of God in Islam - Al-Qayyūm (Arabic: القيوم), meaning "Subsisting" or "Independent".
In modern times it is sometimes used as an independent surname, by for example
In Sufism, specially in the Naqshbandi tradition, it is a special term:
Abdul Qayyum (Arabic: عبد القيوم ) is a male Muslim given name. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Qayyum. The name means "servant of the eternal", Al-Qayyūm being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.
The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. So the first part can appear as Abdel, Abdul or Abd-al. The second part can be transliterated Qayum, Qayoom, Qayyoom, Gayoom, or in other ways, and the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

A Qayyum (pronounced Qayyoom, Arabic/Urdu: قیوم) is a special spiritual position in Sufism, especially in the Naqshbandi tradition. The term was first coined by Ahmed Sirhindi, who was the first qayyum. According to him, a qayyum is a dignitary upon whom the whole order of existence depends. The word is derived from Al-Qayyum, a name of God in Islam that has the same meaning. According to the doctrine, only one qayyum is alive at any particular time.
The first qayyum was Ahmed Sirhindi (d. 1034 AH). The second was Ahmed Sirhindi's third son, Khwaja Muhammad Masum Faruqi (d.1099 AH), who was followed by his son Khwaja Muhammad Hujjat-ullah Naqshband (d.1115 AH). The fourth qayyum was Khwaja Muhammad Zubair (d.1152 AH), the grandson of Khwaja Naqshband.
Several other influential Sufis have claimed the title of qayyum.
Mirza Mazhar Jan-e-Janaan (d. 1195 AH) was an important saint of the Naqshbandi Sufi order in the 18th century. He was also a renowned poet of modern Urdu. Shah Waliullah, an Islamic scholar contemporary with Mirza Mazhar, is quoted as saying, "As far as I can see, and I can see the seven continents, there is no saint today like Mirza Mazhar."
I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
And all that you mean to me
I used to think I would never fall in love again
I guess I was wrong
When your heart was broken
When your wounded pride was laid to rest, baby
You'll never open your heart to anyone else you said
But you lied, I know you're lyin' tome
You see your mind might be made up, mmm
But your heart has got it's own plans
There's no one to blame for false pride, tellin' lies,
tryin' to hide
From feelin' the pain, I know you don't wanna feel it
There's nowhere to hide when the love is callin' your
name, yeah
From the dark, babe, nowhere to hide, baby
There's nowhere to hide, so let love have it's way
with your heart
When love calls, love calls, love calls your name
It's on my lips
And I wish that you were still here
To take me away with your kiss
And take me away from all this crazy, crazy
'Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
Too many lies have been told, baby
You'll never do it again you told yourself over and
over and over
You're wrong, dead wrong, babe, yeah
There's nowhere to hide, mmm, when love is callin'
your name
In from the dark, baby, nowhere to run, girl
There's nowhere to hide, yeah, so let love have its
way, girl, with your heart, babe
Love calls, love calls
There's nowhere to hide, yeah, when love calls your
name
You fall apart, baby
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run when love is on its
way, girl, to your heart, baby
When love calls, love calls your name, babe
Love's callin' your name, hey, hey
It's callin' out for, callin' out for me, baby
Love's on its way, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And how you make me feel
The sweetness of your touch
The softness of your voice, mmm
You make me wanna be a better man, baby
And I wanna thank you for calling me into your life
