Hotep


Hotep is an Egyptian word that roughly translates as "to be at peace". The word also refers to an "offering" ritually presented to a deity or a dead person, hence "be pleased, be gracious, be at peace". It is rendered in hieroglyphs as an altar/offering table. The noun ḥtp.w means "peace, contentment". Davies interprets the concept of ḥtp as "the result of action in accord with maat ".
The so-called offering formula begins with ḥtp-dj-nsw "an offering given by the king".
Egyptian ḥtp became Coptic hatp/hotp "be content" and hōtp "be reconciled".
Hotep as part of ancient Egyptian names, such as Hotepsekhemwy, the first ruler of Egypt's Second Dynasty.
