Meaning: perhaps ⲉⲛⲟ-, 'O mother!' + ⲙⲉⲇⳝⲟⲩ-, 'slave, servant' = 'mother Medjou' < 'mother «servant»' . 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 rendering of ⲁⲃⲃⲁ.
