Maat (𓆄𓂝𓏏) is the ancient Egyptian goddess and concept of truth, justice, and cosmic order. After death, the heart of the deceased was weighed against Maat's feather to determine worthiness for the afterlife.
Maat is rare but distinctive as a given name.
Maat does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Maat reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
