Abstract
In ancient Egypt, there were various personal names were associated with the mother and
her role in the society. These titles held great importance and reflected the high regard for
motherhood in Egyptian society. This study specifically focuses on the personal names commonly
used by the Egyptian state employees in Lower Nubia during the Middle Kingdom
period; who took pride in incorporating their mothers` names as an important part of their
personal identities, represented in their personal names. Additionally, these individuals established
themselves as being engendered from their respective mothers, similar to the way their
father`s acknowledged. It is remarkable that many individuals were primarily identified with
their filiation to solely the mother. The study aims to uncover the underlying motivations behind
the practice of using only the mother`s name for filiation purpose. Through textual evidence
and personal names shows the outlines of the subject. The results may assist in better understanding
and appreciating the diverse cultural practices around filiation with the mother`s
name.
