We offer two methods of translating any first name into Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Note: This will translate any name up to 13 characters in length.

1) Letter for letter translation. Easiest to understand today and a popular method. While not as historically accurate as the second method, it offers a style and visual impact unmatched.

2) The ancient Egyptians by and large did not use vowels, and their ‘alphabet’ consisted of the phonetic sounds and consonants depicted by the 134 hieroglyphic signs, much like our phonetics of today. This method uses an advanced ‘metaphone’ formula to determine what the name ‘sounds like’. Using this method insures a more accurate depiction of what the scribe may have actually written. We suggest the name ‘Christopher’ as a good example of this method.
