Name Root:
Nebt-Het / Nebt-het > Neftis
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Egyptian “Nebt-Het / Nebt-het > Neftis.” Nephthys is a member of the Great Ennead of Heliopolis in Egyptian mythology, a daughter of Nut and Geb. Nephthys was typically paired with her sister Isis in funerary rites because of their role as protectors of the mummy and the god Osiris and as the sister-wife of Set. Nephthys is the Greek form of an epithet (transliterated as Nebet-het, and Nebt-het, from Egyptian hieroglyphs). The origin of the goddess Nephthys is unclear. Still, her name’s literal translation is usually given as “Lady of the House,” which has caused some to identify her with the notion of a housewife mistakenly or as the primary lady who ruled a domestic household.
