Abstract

Throughout ancient Egyptian history proper name changes in terms of their content and grammatical form. This article is the study of the names of ancient Egyptian queens from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the beginning of the New Kingdom. The study analyses their name by content and by grammar. The names are compared to contemporary non-royal names, and the question of whether or not queens assumed throne names is addressed.
