Priest of On: ONN is the Egyptian name fo...re v. 45<br />Priest of On: ONN is the Egyptian name for Heliopolis (city of the sun) and it means literally "the city with many pillars".<br /><br />The weird Coptic named attributed to Joseph (Zaphnath p aaneah): I can see that the last word means LIFE in Ancient Egyptian (it is the name of the so-called key\cross of life)<br />The first word however is a mystery to many scholars. I can say that it means in Arabic (!!) the "SOFN" i.e the leather bag that Bedouins put their food in!! which sounds relevant to the story IMHO.<br /> Salamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410040900656015293noreply@blogger.com
