-One of the most famous Egyptian names is Ramses. The name was so popular that it became a title for many different pharaohs from Egypt’s 18th dynasty (1292 BCE – 115) and 19th Dynasty (1187 BC to 1080 BC). This is why, in English language media, you may hear about “Ramses II” when referring to Pharaoh Ramesses II. After his death he was mummified and placed inside his tomb with his wife Nefertari which remains one of the best preserved tombs in all of Egypt.

Ancient Egyptians would have many different versions of a particular name through time – for instance there were five different pharaohs called Ramesses! Modern names could be translated into this tradition by giving children two middle names which can represent both parents’ heritage; for example you might give your son the English version of his father’s surname followed by a traditional Arabic given name like Saad (Saad Abdullah) after his
