Greek?

foreign?
Etymology
It is uncertain how to resolve this abbreviation. It may stand for Ἐπιχάρης, Ἐπιχαρίον, Ἐπίχαρις, Ἐπίχαρμος, Ἐπιχώριος, but none of them is attestated beyond 3rd century AD. Alternatively, this may be a so far unattested abbreviation for Epimachos.

Name 200977

Eptairi
Gender

Structure

Genealogy
Semitic: Arabic?
Origin
foreign?
Etymology
The beginning of the name, ⲉⲡⲧ-, is identical as in ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲥⲥⲏⲥⲉⲓ, where it renders the Arabic 'Abd, 'servant'. However, the element -ⲁⲉⲓⲣⲓ is difficult to identify. It could tentatively be interpreted as the rendering of the Arabic al-H̱ayr (الخير), but the name 'Abd al-H̱ayr is unattested in Arabic sources.
