"jzzj" meaning in Egyptian

See jzzj in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /izɛzi/ (note: modern Egyptological) Forms: i-z:z-i [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 have tentatively attempted to explain it as derived from the imperative verb jz (“go!”) as an expression possibly uttered by a midwife at the time of birth. Etymology templates: {{unc|egy}} Uncertain Head templates: {{head|egy|proper nouns|head=<hiero>i-z:z-i</hiero>}} i-z:z-i, {{egy-proper noun|m|head=<hiero>i-z:z-i</hiero>}} i-z:z-i m
