Meaning & History

Derived from the Egyptian jꜥḥ-ms, which means "born of Iah" [1], this name is a combination of the name of the Egyptian deity Iah and the verb msj, signifying "to be born." It was the title of the first pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (circa 16th century BC), who successfully expelled the Hyksos from Egypt. Additionally, it was used by other members of the Egyptian royal family from the same period, such as several queens who were consorts to the kings.
