The name is written without any vowels, since hieroglyphs only expressed consonants. The name is in two parts, meaning "foremost" and "noblewomen".

The first word is h3t (foremost), written with the front quarters of a lion plus the semicircular loaf (t) which here simply serves as a phonetic complement to confirm the pronunciation.

The second part is written with a male or female official seated on an elaborate chair and holding a flail; this is read shpsy and means "noble" or "dignified"; the addition of another semicircular loaf (t) makes it feminine, and three short vertical lines make it plural (shpsywt) = noblewomen.

So the name reads "Foremost of Noblewomen".

Three other signs within the queen's name cartouche give the name of the god Amun, serving as the queen's protective deity. The god's name is written first, out of respect. Later in the group of signs is the stone jar (xnm), meaning "associated with" or "united with". So the queen is "united with Amun".

The name "Tutankhamun" is just one of many modern attempts to say the real name, which appears in hieroglyphs as twt.anx.imn (where all the letters are consonants, since no vowels were written).

The name and additional signs are placed inside a cartouche since they represent a royal name.

The first group is the name of the god Amun: imn, written with the vertical reed then the mn sign (a side view of a game board), plus the horizontal zig-zag line for n (here a phonetic complement). Because this is the name of a god it is always written first (out of respect), but is pronounced last - a feature of many Egyptian names.

The second group means "image" or "likeness": twt, written with the bread-chick-bread signs.

The third is simply the familiar "ankh" sign meaning life or living: anx, written with a vertical sandal-strap.

Together the name means: Living Image of Amun.

The final three signs are a pointed reference to the restoration of traditional religion and capital city after the rule of pharaoh Akhenaten: HqA iwnw Sma Ruler of Southern Heliopolis.

Thoth is not the Egyptian version of his name, but an approximation used by the Greeks who visited Egypt. In hieroglyphs he is called DHwty, the D being a sound like "dj". We can never know how this was pronounced by the ancient Egyptians, but modern Egyptologists say Djehuty.

There are many ways of writing this in hieroglyphs and scribes could choose to write the name in full or in abbreviated form, depending on the available space.

Often the name is written with Thoth's totem bird, the Egyptian ibis, mounted on a kind of stand; this is followed by the loaf-sign (t) and two short, sloping strokes (y). The determinative sign for "god" is usually written at the end.

When written out in full and using phonemes (sound-signs), it has the cobra (dj) + the twisted rope (h) + the chick (w) + the loaf (t) + the two sloping strokes (y) = DHwty. Again the "god" determinative would usually follow.

The link takes you to an image of Thoth as a scribe, with his name written in typical shortened form at the top of the right-hand column (the first column of text):
