The first part of Snefru's titulary is his Horus name, Horus Nebmaat (Horus, 'Lord of Maat', Hrw nb mAat). His second name, is the Two Ladies Nebmaat.


Maat according to J.P. Allen, is the principle of world order, things as they ought to be, established by the creator and maintained in the world by the king - also represents the principles of justice and ethical behaviour, the standard by which actions are judged right or wrong and the deceased is judged worthy to join the society of the spirits.
