  1. A male given name, Pepi or Pepy

Usage notes
Some authors read the signs of this name in a different order, as pjpj. However, attested writings of the name as


in vertical script and
in horizontal script strongly argue against such a reading, whereas no instances of the spelling *
, which might be expected for the reading pjpj, have been found.
