Nut is not the ancient Egyptian name, but a modern attempt to make it pronounceable.

In hieroglyphs it was written in various ways that refer to the primeval waters of the world before creation. It is seen like this:

  • A round pot followed by the semicircular loaf for t over the sky-glyph, followed by the sign for "woman". The pot is pronounced nw, so the phonemes (sound-signs) spell nwt. We can never know which vowels were used in between these consonants since they were not written.
  • A larger round pot followed by a smaller one and the t-sign over the sky glyph followed by the sign for "a god".

There are other possible variations, but they all say nwt.

The link below takes you to an image of Nut's name written in hieroglyphs, but without the "woman" or "god" sign at the end:
