Thutmose's two main names transliterate as '''[[:wikt:mn-ḫpr-rꜥ|mn-ḫpr-rꜥ]] [[:wikt:ḏḥwtj|ḏḥwtj]]-[[:wikt:ms#Egyptian|ms]]'''. The first name is usually transcribed as ''Menkheperre'' and means "the Established One of the Manifestation of [[Ra]]". The second name is transliterated as ''Thutmose'' or ''Tuthmosis'' and means "Born of [[Thoth]]" or "Thoth is born."<ref name="Clayton 104"/><ref>Leprohon, Ronald (2013).
