All known and most unidentified names of the pharaohs can be found here.

Some pharaohs are only known by one or two of the five names, and many remain to be assigned to the correct king. The combined names form the royal titulary, which consisted of the Horus, Nebty, Golden Horus, Throne, and Birth names. Ramesses and Neferka re both inlude the N5-sign, but one as Ra, the other as Re.) To be consistent, the hieroglyphic sun disc ⊙ (Gardiner sign N5) is always transliterated as Ra on these pages, despite the use of Re being more common among Egyptologists, if also arbitrarily used. Since the ancient Egyptian language has been dead for two millennia, the knowledge of how the writing was actually pronounced can only be estimated. Hieroglyphic writing does not normally indicate wovels, and in modern transcriptions, an 'e' is added between consonants to aid in their pronunciation. The knowledge to read and write hieroglyphs was lost by 450 CE, and would remain so until the 1820s, when the Rosetta Stone was deciphered, enabling the reading of the hieroglyphs again. The names were sometimes altered during the reign to mark an important event. It symbolises their supremacy and holy might. The royal titulary of the Egyptian Pharaohs was the standard naming convention taken by the kings of Ancient Egypt.
