Names are written inside a rectangle shape called a cartouche similar to acronyms, inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphs. Within a cartouche, the first phoneme of the corresponding word is read, each then strung together to form the name. While any word may be used, specific glyphs may be chosen to reflect the meaning or associations of the name. The choice of words is left up to the preference of the entity being named or, otherwise, the author of the text.
