Wikipedia / Hotep

Hotep (; also rendered hetep) is an Egyptian word that roughly translates as "to be satisfied, at peace". The word also refers to an "offering" ritually presented to a deity or a dead person, hence "be pleased, be gracious, be at peace". It is rendered in Egyptian hieroglyphs as an altar (Gardiner sign R4). The noun ḥtp.w means "peace, contentment". Davies (2018) interprets the concept of as "the result of action in accord with maat [the proper order of the universe]".

The so-called offering formula begins with "an offering given by the king".

Egyptian became Coptic "be content" and hōtp "be reconciled".

Hotep was part of ancient Egyptian names, such as Hotepsekhemwy ( "the two powers are at peace"), the first ruler of the Second Dynasty of Egypt.
