What means
It marks the female name Hetepheres silently. A determinative, or classifier, labels a written name's category; adds no sound and is not a standalone word for “woman.” The name is transcribed Ḥtp-ḥrs.
Where did come from?
The linked name is attested at Giza in the Fourth Dynasty. The inscription records Hetepheres; it dates this use, not the sign's invention.
Egyptian writing standardized sign forms in the first dynasties.
