Résumé
This article focuses on Egyptian hybrid names, specifically on personal names in cuneiform texts from the first millennium BCE that consist of one Egyptian element (generally the name of an Egyptian deity) and a non-Egyptian element (generally a Semitic phrase). The absence or presence of Egyptian contexts, such as Egyptian ethnonyms and fully Egyptian personal names, is evaluated to determine whether these hybrid names indicate the diffusion of Egyptian cults abroad or the partial integration of Egyptians living in Western Asia. After identifying and presenting 27 attestations from Neo-Assyrian to Parthian times, it is concluded that the name-bearers in question likely consisted of both foreigners who had adopted Egyptian cults and ethnic Egyptians.
