It’s unfair to give the Egyptians their literal meaning, but leave out “willful protection”, “earthworker”, “free man” and “honorable protector.

1. **Hor-Aha (“Horus the Fighter”)** – He is considered to be one of the earliest pharaohs, traditionally identified as the second king of the First Dynasty of Egypt, ruling around 3100–3050 BCE. Some Egyptologists identify him with Menes, the legendary founder of unified Egypt.
2. **Hotepsekhemwy (“The Two Powers are Reconciled”)** – He was the first king of the Second Dynasty of Egypt, around 2890 BCE. His reign is known for its efforts to reconcile the powers of Upper and Lower Egypt.
3. **Sekhemkhet (“The One Whose Body is Powerful”)** – He was the third pharaoh of the Third Dynasty, ruling around 2611–2603 BCE. He is known for his unfinished step pyramid, sometimes called the Buried Pyramid.
4. **Scorpion I** – He was a ruler of Upper Egypt during the Protodynastic Period, around 3200 BCE. He is often linked with the pre-dynastic kings who ruled before the unification of Egypt.
ALL the pharaohs of egypt from the upper (thebes centric) were “black” . lower (near the mediterranean) egypt wasnt even a pinch of arabian or persian until around 900 bce(besides the hyksos incursion). and the arabs of today did not take the whole egypt fully until the arab invasions (300ad)
**these photos depictions are wrong(while funny)**
always remember the lower was like a 2nd farce kingdom, they were obviously influential with trade the upper was the capital (up the hill) they controlled the natural resources and ultimately the culture.
the upper and the lower always had rivalry . only a few were able to bring them together successfully (ahmose famously)

So English names are stupid because they’re English names, and Egyptian names are cool because they’re foreign. This is some racist crap!
Henry ain’t got nothing on Louis, a name beyond overused for French monarchs.

Technically the English had eleven Edwards even though the latest one was Edward VIII, it goes up to eleven if you count the three pre-Norman ones (Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr and Edward the Confessor).
