What is the meaning of the name Khephera ?

The baby name Khephera is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced keh-FEH-rah (IPA: /kɛˈfɛrə/).

Khephera is Egyptian in Origin.

Khephera is a modern Anglicized given name drawn from Ancient Egyptian Khepri/Khepera (Egyptological transcription ḫprj), the scarab-headed solar deity. The root ḫpr means "to come into being," "to transform," or "to become," so the name carries senses of creation, renewal, and daily rebirth associated with the sun's rising.

While extremely rare in personal naming of antiquity outside theophoric compounds, Khephera gained currency as a modern choice in the late 20th century, especially within Afrocentric, Pan-African, and esoteric circles seeking resonant Nile Valley heritage. Usage today is unisex but leans feminine in English due to the -a ending. Established variants include Khepera, Khepri, Kephera, Kepera, Khephra, and Khepra; related transliterations such as Khepri (French: Khépri) and Chepri also appear. The spelling with ph reflects older Egyptological and occult printings. Overall, Khephera denotes becoming and self-renewal, with a mythic brightness tethered to the scarab's emblem of eternal return.
