Asenath is a Hebrew name that means "devoted to the goddess Neith" or "belonging to the goddess Neith". Neith was a goddess of wisdom and war in ancient Egyptian mythology, and her worship was prevalent in Canaanite culture. Asenath was also the name of Joseph's wife in the Book of Genesis, and she was said to be an Egyptian woman.
Of debated etymology, some believe Asenath to be an Aramaic name meaning “thornbush.” Others think it is possibly an Egyptian name meaning “gift of the sun-god.” It was borne by the wife of Joseph and mother of Manasseh and Ephraim. (GEN. 41) (ASS-EH-NATH)
