Name is a truly unique web-based program you can use to write your name in Egyptian hieroglyphs.
There are a handful of interactive write-your-name-in-hieroglyphs tools available on the web. To our knowledge, all of them simply replace each character of the name entered with a related hieroglyph. Some even go to the trouble to place the hieroglyphs correctly, as ours does.
But no other tool really does what ours does: namely, uses AI to attempt to understand how the name would be pronounced (in English) and then spells it in hieroglyphs based on its pronunciation, not based on its spelling. (Think, for example, of a name like Ignatius, pronounced ig-nay-shuhs, but spelled ig-nay-tee-us, or Boudreau, pronounced boo-dro.) Our tool has been tested on over 8,000 names, and although there are still a few it struggles with, we think it's pretty darned good!
So give it a try! Meanwhile, if you'd like to know more about names and naming in ancient Egypt, you can check out an article we have prepared that provides some background on ancient Egyptian royal names.
