Meaning & History
From Egyptian tꜣ-wsr.t meaning "mighty lady", derived from tꜣ "the; she of" combined with wsr "mighty, powerful" and the feminine suffix -t. This was the name of the last known ruler and the final pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty (c.1191 BCE – c.1189 BCE), who inherited the position after the death of her husband Seti II. Her throne name was Sitre Meryamun, which means "daughter of Re, beloved of Amun".
