The story of Azeneth
Asenath is named three times in Genesis as Joseph's wife and the mother of Ephraim and Manasseh, whose tribes descend from an Egyptian priest's daughter. A Hellenistic romance, Joseph and Aseneth, gives her a conversion story. Spanish-speaking families use Azeneth, and it appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
belonging to Neith
From the Egyptian ns-nt, 'she belongs to Neith', the goddess of weaving, war and the hunt whose worship predates the unification of Egypt. Genesis names her as the daughter of a priest of On and the wife Pharaoh gives Joseph. The Egyptian reading is documented.

The trade-off
- A goddess older than the Egyptian state is named inside it.
- That two Israelite tribes descend from an Egyptian priest's daughter is a genuinely striking fact.
- The end stress gives it a strong rhythm against a front-stressed surname.
- The name honors an Egyptian deity, which some families will weigh.
- Asenath is the standard English biblical spelling.
- Three syllables and an unfamiliar spelling will need dictating.
