Translate a name or initials into ancient Egyptian

In Egyptian hieroglyphs, a cartouche is an oval with a horizontal line at one end, indicating that the text enclosed is a royal name. Egyptians believed that one who had their name recorded somewhere would not disappear after death. The cartouche has become a symbol representing good luck and protection from evil, as a powerful amulet of protection for all eternity.
