Meaning of Horus
God of light; The high-flying one
Horus, an ancient Egyptian name for boys, has origins in Greek and ancient Egyptian mythology. Often recognized as the God of the sky and light, the name Horus is derived from the Latin term Horus or the Greek Horos. This, in turn, traces back to the Egyptian word hor, signifying ‘the high-flying one.’ Alternatively, Horus could be a Latin term or the Greek form of the Egyptian hrw, possibly derived from hr, meaning ‘above,’ or ‘over,’ or from hrj, meaning ‘distant.’
