Egyptian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
rꜥ (“Ra”) + ḏd (“stability, lastingness”) + .f (“his”), thus ‘Ra is his lastingness’. Possibly, if the name is written with honorific transposition, it could also be ḏd (“endures”) + .f (“he”) + rꜥ (“Ra”), thus ‘He endures, (namely) Ra’; however, both the Greek rendering of the name and the meaning support the former interpretation.

- Conventional anglicization: ra-djed.ef
