Meaning & origin
Khepri is a rare and exotic given name in the United States, first recorded in 2009. It has never been a common name; in 2025, it ranked 11,932 nationally, with an incidence of about 1 in 229,610 births. Its peak popularity occurred in 2021, but its trajectory has been falling since 2020, suggesting it remains a niche choice. The name is unisex, though its origin as the Egyptian god of the rising sun gives it a predominantly masculine association. Because its usage is so modern and sparse, it does not appear in any top state lists. Khepri appeals to parents drawn to mythology, symbolism, and distinctive, unconventional names.
Khepri is a name of uncertain origin, likely derived from the Ancient Egyptian god Khepri, who was depicted as a scarab beetle and represented the morning sun and rebirth. The name appears to have been adopted in English-speaking countries as a modern given name, first recorded in the United States in 2009. Its use remains rare and is not traditionally tied to any living culture.
