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".
