Etymology
The Egyptian name Mȝʿ.t-Rʿ, 'the truth of Re' (Gr. Μαρῆς et var.), which in Coptic can occur as ⲙⲁⲣⲉ or ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩ, is masculine. Here, however, we seem to be dealing with a woman (ⲏ ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲁ, ⲧⲏⲛ (ⲯⲩ)ⲭⲏⲛ ⲁⲩⲧⲏ(ⲥ)). We have here either an example of changing the gender of a name in Nubia or another name, possibly of Nubian origin.
