© MC 2023
Every Egyptian Pharaoh (then and now) has 5 Titled Names, after the 18th Dynasty.
The Horus Name – This is the Divine Name of the King, associated with Horus the God of the Kingship. Most Pharaohs are incarnations of Horus, starting with Horus Narmer and ending with Ptolemy Caesar (Horus Michael I).
The Two Ladies Name – These are the 2 Goddesses representing Upper and Lower Egypt (North and South), the Political Name. The Goddesses are the Cobra and the Vulture. Nebty.
The Golden Name (Horus of Gold) – This name was given when Pharaoh conquered Nubia (as Horus is shown dominating the symbol of gold or Nubia), the Priestly Name. Nub Tawy.
The Dual-King Name (Upper/Lower Egypt) – Or Nesu-Bity, this is the royal name in the Cartouche. Nesu(t)-Bity.
The Son of Ra Name (or Prince of Light), which is the Personal Name given at birth by his parents or the priests (Prince Name). Ra is the King of Light so his “son” is the Prince of Light. (Michael J. Costa). Sa-Ra.
