Name

Egyptian religion

  The Book of the Dead requires the dead to know and speak the names of gates, keepers, and powers on the path below. A named Egyptian name-speech in that corpus, not true-name as hidden-name lore alone and not tetragrammaton.

• Royal cartouche represents Name.

  The Book of the Dead arms the dead with name-power and keeps royal and divine names in cartouche rings — the royal cartouche performs a name-enclosure sign job in that corpus, not shen-ring alone and not cartouche as a bare oval dump.

• Cognomen is historically related to Name.

  Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable seats cognomen in Roman naming speech — as when Caius Caesar received the cognomen Caligula from the caligae he wore as a youth in Germanicus’s army — the standing additional name beyond the praenomen. A named Cognomen in that Roman name speech, not an agnomen, and not a bare nickname dump alone.
