sꜣḥ-wj-rꜥ

Egyptian

Etymology

Leprohon interprets the name as sꜣḥ (to endow) + wj (me) + rꜥ (Ra), thus ‘Ra has endowed me’; others have interpreted the first part as a single passive participle, with a reading along the lines of sꜣḥw (arrived at, reached) + rꜥ (Ra), thus ‘(he who is) reached by Ra’.
