The Egyptian name Iunet has been attested in the following source, though a primary-source reference for the name has not yet been found: Geissen, Angelo and Manfred Weber, "Untersuchungen zu den ägyptischen Nomenprägungen II: 1.-7. Oberägyptischer Gau", Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik, Bd. 147, 2004: pp. 275
The Egyptian name Tantere is commonly used and referred to in secondary-source texts, but a primary-source reference has not been found for either.
The name Tentyra can be considered an alternate spelling of Tantura, the primary name used in Greek sources.
