Ancient Egyptian names were often short sentences about a god: Amenhotep means “Amun is satisfied”, Thutmose “Thoth is born”. This mummy name generator uses real names from Ancient Egypt, from pharaohs to scribes, with their meanings and a title fit for a tomb.

How Egyptian names work

Most Ancient Egyptian names are short sentences, usually about a god. Learn a few pieces and you can read them:

-mose means "is born": Thutmose, "Thoth is born"; Ramose, "Ra is born".
-hotep means "is satisfied" or "at peace": Amenhotep, "Amun is satisfied".
Mery- or Merit- means "beloved of": Meritamun, "beloved of Amun".
Nefer means "beautiful" or "good": Nefertari, "beautiful companion".
Sat- or Sit- means "daughter of": Sitre, "daughter of Ra".

Everyday names were often simpler: Nakht means "strong", and Tamit means "she-cat".

Mummies, curses and real people

The word: mummy comes from the Arabic mūmiyā, bitumen, because the dark embalmed bodies were once thought to be coated in it.
The process: the Greek historian Herodotus wrote that embalming took 70 days, and that fits what Egyptologists have found.
The curse: the idea of a mummy's curse took off after Lord Carnarvon, who paid for the dig, died in 1923, a few months after Tutankhamun's tomb was opened. The 1932 film The Mummy, with Boris Karloff, turned the mummy into a movie monster.
Real people: the names here belonged to real Egyptians, and the mummies in museums are real people's remains. Use the names with a bit of respect, even for Halloween.
