This study delves into personal names in ancient Egypt. The first part describes their basic characteristics and the significance of (non-royal) names. It goes on to analyze which information, aside from their actual function, these names transmit about ancient Egyptian culture, in particular about the archaeology, language, history, and religion of the period of ca. 2800300 BCE.
