Meaning & Origin of Thoth
Meaning: Name of the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, writing, and the moon; the deeper meaning of his Egyptian name Djehuty isn't clearly known.
Origin: Egyptian, via Greek.
A common claim: Thoth's name is often translated as 'he who is like the ibis,' the bird he's typically shown as. Actually: This translation isn't firmly established - the actual root of his Egyptian name is uncertain; the ibis link comes from how he was depicted, not a proven meaning of the name.
