Meaning: ⲉⲛⲟ-, 'O mother!'? + ⲉⲓⲟ-, probably cognate with the Nobiin ⲓⲟ-, 'mother; my mother' + -ⲛ (genitive) + ⳟⲟⲕ-, 'glory' + -ⲁ = 'the glory of mother'. The element ⲉⲛⲟ- at the beginning may not be an integral part of the name, but a title 'mother', analogous to ⲡⲁⲡⲟ, 'father', attested with names of some Nubian bishops and being most probably Nubian translation of ⲁⲃⲃⲁ.
