Sutekh Origin and Meaning

The name Sutekh is a boy's name.

Sutekh is a masculine name derived from ancient Egyptian mythology, where it referred to Set (also called Seth), the god of chaos, storms, disorder, and violence. In Egyptian hieroglyphics, the name was sometimes written as 'Sutekh' or 'Setekh.' Despite its association with chaotic forces, Set/Sutekh was not simply evil in Egyptian religion but represented necessary forces of disruption and change. The name remains very rare as a given name globally, appealing primarily to parents interested in Egyptian mythology or seeking names with ancient roots. Its exotic sound and powerful mythological associations give Sutekh a distinctive presence, though its connections to a chaos deity might be considered challenging by some.
