Hotep

Hotep (ḥtp) is an Egyptian word that roughly translates as "to be at peace". It is regularly found in the names of ancient Egyptian figures such as Hotepsekhemwy (ḥr ḥtp-sḫm.wj "the two powers are at peace"), the first ruler of Egypt's Second Dynasty.

Hotep is the Egyptological pronunciation of Egyptian ḥtp, which was pronounced differently over time. Cuneiform texts during the New Kingdom period suggest the contemporary pronunciation of /hátap/ for the verb, which eventually became Coptic ϩⲁⲧⲡ/ϩⲟⲧⲡ hatp/hotp "be content" and ϩⲱⲧⲡ hōtp "be reconciled".

Hotep is rendered in hieroglyphs as an altar/offering table (Gardiner sign R4). It has special semantic meanings in the Ancient Egyptian offering formula, also known as the ḥtp-dj-nsw formula, to refer to the "boon given by the king," or the food and goods on which a dead soul was supposed to subsist during the afterlife.

The phrase m ḥtp has been translated to mean literally "at peace" or living the life in balance (Maat).
