"wnjs" meaning in Egyptian

See wnjs in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈwanjas/ (note: reconstructed Old Egyptian), /wɛnis/ (note: modern Egyptological) Forms: wn:n-i-s [canonical, masculine]
Etymology: Uncertain. Like many fifth-dynasty pharaohs’ birth names, this name may simply be a diminutive without any meaning of its own. Alternatively, some authors have tentatively proposed to read it as wn-js, from a form of wnn (“to exist”) + js (“intensifying particle”), thus meaning ‘Who exists indeed’. Etymology templates: {{unc|egy}} Uncertain Head templates: {{head|egy|proper nouns|head=<hiero>wn:n-i-s</hiero>|head2=}} wn:n-i-s, {{egy-proper noun|m|head=<hiero>wn:n-i-s</hiero>}} wn:n-i-s m
