The Story of Azeneth
Azeneth is a variant spelling of Asenath, an ancient Egyptian name meaning she belongs to Neith or devoted to the goddess Neith. Neith was one of the oldest Egyptian goddesses, associated with war, weaving, and wisdom. In the Hebrew Bible, Asenath was the Egyptian wife given to Joseph by Pharaoh -- making her the mother of Ephraim and Manasseh, two of the twelve tribes of Israel. This gives the name a remarkable cross-cultural heritage spanning Egyptian and Hebrew traditions.
Azeneth and its standard form Asenath are exceptionally rare names, used primarily by families with strong biblical interests or those drawn to ancient, distinctive names. The name experienced minor interest among Latter-day Saints (Mormon) families who have particular interest in the Joseph narrative of Genesis.
Asenath holds a unique position as one of the few Egyptian women named in the Hebrew Bible. Her story -- an Egyptian priestess marrying the Hebrew slave-turned-vizier Joseph -- is a remarkable narrative of cultural bridge-building. The apocryphal text Joseph and Asenath tells the story of her conversion to Hebrew faith.
