Djehuti is Egyptian in Origin.

Djehuti is the Egyptological rendering of Ancient Egyptian ḏḥwtj, the name of the ibis‑headed god Thoth. The elements likely combine ḏḥw “ibis” with the masculine suffix -tj, yielding “He of the ibis,” hence “Thoth.” As a personal name it functions theophorically, invoking the deity of wisdom, writing, and measurement. Variants and transliterations include Djehuty, Djhuty, Tehuti, Jehuti, Thuti/Tuti; in Greek and Latin, Thoth and Theuth; in Coptic, Thout/Thōout (also the name of the first month).

Attested from the Middle Kingdom onward, Djehuti was borne by administrators, scribes, and soldiers, reflecting Thoth’s scholarly and bureaucratic associations. Notable bearers include Djehuty, overseer of the Treasury under Hatshepsut and Thutmose III (tomb TT11), and a general Djehuti in the Tale of the Capture of Joppa. The name persisted into Late and Ptolemaic periods and today sees limited revival in Kemetic and Pan‑African contexts, often spelled Tehuti.
