Ancient And Modern Naming Conventions Compared
Ancient Egypt
|Issue 101
Hilary Wilson shows how the many and varied ways different societies name their children can help us understand ancient Egyptian names.
A website helping parents choose names for their children advises the following: “Keep in mind that many names may have different meanings in other countries and languages so be careful that the name you choose doesn’t mean something bad or unpleasant.”
The naming of individuals is a common custom of cultures from all periods of history but the significance attached to names, the protocols of name choice and the rituals and conventions associated with naming can vary greatly even between contemporary societies. Comparison of these conventions, particularly those of Africa, with the traditions of ancient Egypt, can illuminate our understanding of Egyptian personal names.
