Means "(one who) leads back the distant one" or "sky bearer", derived from jnj "to bring, get, fetch, attain" combined with ḥrt "sky, heavens; distant one". This was the name of a god of war and hunting in Egyptian mythology. He was the husband of Menhit, his female counterpart, and possibly derived his name from his role of bringing her to Egypt from Nubia. He was typically depicted as a bearded man wearing a robe or kilt and a headdress with four feathers, while holding a spear or lance, and occasionally with a lion's head, like his wife.
