Hellenization and Onomastic Change. The Case of Egyptian P3-dỉ /Πετε-Names

Looks at a well attested Egyptian theophoric naming pattern, in casu P3/T3-dỉ followed by a god's name: 'the one (masculine or feminine) whom god X has given', rendered as Πετε-/Tετε- in Greek. Mapping this onomastic type's popularity reflects the evolution of social values as diverse as language and religion from 800 BC to AD 800, a turbulent time in which Egypt saw a rapid succession of foreign powers dominating its territory.
