"kꜣkꜣj" meaning in All languages combined

See kꜣkꜣj on Wiktionary

Proper name [Egyptian]

IPA: /kɑkɑi/ (note: modern Egyptological) Forms: kA-kA-i [canonical, masculine]
Etymology: Unclear. Like many fifth-dynasty pharaohs’ birth names, this name may simply be a diminutive without any meaning of its own, perhaps of the pharaoh’s throne name nfr-jr-kꜣ-rꜥ (in which case it may not be the actual name given at birth). Alternatively, some have tentatively attempted to explain it as kꜣ (“life-force, sustenance”) + kꜣ + .j (“my”), thus ‘my life-force is a life-force’. Etymology templates: {{af|egy|kꜣ|kꜣ|.j|t1=life-force, sustenance|t3=my}} kꜣ (“life-force, sustenance”) + kꜣ + .j (“my”) Head templates: {{head|egy|proper nouns|head=<hiero>kA-kA-i</hiero>}} kA-kA-i, {{egy-proper noun|m|head=<hiero>kA-kA-i</hiero>}} kA-kA-i m
  1. a male given name of historical usage, notably borne by Neferirkare Kakai, a pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty
