kꜣkꜣj

Meaning: “life-force, sustenance” + “my”

Unclear. Like many fifth-dynasty pharaohs’ birth names, this name may simply be a diminutive without any meaning of its own, perhaps of the pharaoh’s throne name nfr-jr-kꜣ-rꜥ (in which case it may not be the actual name given at birth). Alternatively, some have tentatively attempted to explain it as kꜣ (“life-force, sustenance”) + kꜣ +.j (“my”), thus ‘my life-force is a life-force’.
