As the Bab Himself says it means "The most eternal, the most everlasting of the Names."  The information was obtained through a learned friend, as I myself know nothing in the Writings of the Bab.  Faruq

Thank you very much Faruq.  If you will indulge one more question please:  What is the translation of Qayyum l'Asma?

Dear Richard  Qayyum is superlative for Qaim, but it has another meaning which is used in Baha'i Writings.  Qaim means somebody who is standing or rose to do something.  Qayyum means self-subsisting (as the Guardian has translated). 
Mihdi, which is pronounced in Persian is Mehdi and in Arabic as MAHDI, means guided.  I've never seen something like AMHAD for it, which can mean more or most guided!

Qayyum in relationship to Qaim. Does Mihdi also have a superlative?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Richard.
