ḥr (“Horus”) + ꜣḫtj (“of the Akhet”). Later, in the New Kingdom, ꜣḫtj was reinterpreted as the dual of ꜣḫt (“Akhet”) instead of a nisba adjective derived from it, rendering a new interpretation of ḥr-ꜣḫtj as a direct genitive construction meaning ‘Horus of the Two Akhets’.

=== Proper noun ===
m
Horakhty, an aspect of the god Horus as the sun at dawn
