Right. The meaning or translation of the hieroglyphs that represent the name can be considered separately from the meaning or etymology of the vocalized sound of the name.

The same applies to other names written with ideographs, including Chinese and Japanese names which may be written one way, but with a different pronunciation and meaning - the ideographs become a kind of riddle that may be completely obtuse unless explained. kind of like cryptic crossword clues. In this case "'Woman of the throne', 4 phonemes", answer = Iset.
