Source-reportedMeaning: “Neith” + “to be excellent”
nt (“Neith”) + jqr (“to be excellent”) +.t(j) (feminine singular stative ending), thus literally ‘Neith is excellent’. While correct uses of this name are attested for non-royal individuals, the name’s application to a sixth dynasty pharaoh/queen likely originated as an error for nṯrj-kꜣ-rꜥ made long after the time of the pharaoh who bore that name.
