jtwnj-rꜥꜣ-yh

Egyptian

Etymology

Schneider reconstructs the name as Northwest Semitic *ʾadōnī-rōʿē-yāh, "My lord is the shepherd of Yah"; both Schneider and Shalomi Hen identify *-yāh with an abbreviated form of the toponym yhwꜣ, attested to during the 13th century BCE, whose relationship to the theonym Yahweh is still debated. Schneider takes the phrase *rōʿē-yāh as a whole as a divine epithet for Yahweh in his association with the toponym.
