What is the meaning of the name Re-Harakhty ?

Re-Harakhty is Egyptian in Origin.

From ancient Egyptian Rꜥ-Ḥr-ꜥḫty, Re-Harakhty fuses Re (Ra), the sun god, with Heru/Horus and akhet "horizon" (dual -ty), yielding "Ra-Horus of the Two Horizons." The name evokes the sun's daily passage across east and west and connotes kingship, renewal, and cosmic protection. Approximate pronunciation: RAY ha-RAHK-tee.

As a theonym, it appears widely on New Kingdom monuments and Heliopolitan hymns, and figures prominently in the Amarna formula "Ra-Horakhty who rejoices in the horizon ... in his name of Shu who is Aten." While seldom used as a personal name in antiquity, it informs many Egyptian theophoric names and today appeals as a rare, resonant choice. Attested spellings include Ra-Horakhty, Re-Horakhty, Ra-Harakhte, and Re-Harakhte; related (not identical) is Harmakhis/Horemakhet "Horus in the Horizon." Possible modern shortenings include Re/Ra or Harakhty.
