Ancient Egyptian writing uses more than 2,000 hieroglyphic characters. Each hieroglyph represents a common object in ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs could represent the sound of the object or they could represent an idea associated with the object.
The following characters were used for writing names. Keep in mind that the Egyptians didn't always spell from left to write. Sometimes they stacked things.

If there are any silent letters in your name, do not include them. C: There was no C as such. So use either K or S. Choose the one that best fits your name. That is authentic, as Egyptian scribes went by the sounds of foreign words, when assigning Egyptian letters to them. J: This is the hard English J (DJ). So a German J (Y sound in English) or Spanish J (H sound in English) should probably use the more appropriate Y or H, as being more authentic. or
Often a person's name was followed by a sign showing that the name is not just some obscure Egyptian word, and that he or she was a man or a woman.
