Means "he of Andjet", the name of an ancient Egyptian city whose name was probably derived from ḏd "stability, durability".

This was the name of one of the earliest gods in Egyptian mythology, possibly with roots in Predynastic Egypt, and a possible precursor to Osiris. As such he had many of the same duties as Osiris. He is typically depicted holding the crook and flail and a crown similar to Osiris' Atef crown. The first Pharaoh of Egypt to build a true pyramid, Sneferu, was depicted wearing a crown of Andjety, and in the temple of Seti I, the pharaoh is shown making an offering to Osiris-Andjety.
