The word is pharaoh, which comes from the two Ancient Egyptian words pr (house) and aa' (great), so "Great House".

They were kings of Egypt from about 3000 BC to around 332 BC, following which Egypt was ruled in turn by Persians, Macedonian Greeks, Romans and then Arabs.

Pharaohs had names consisting of five elements, but today most kings are known by just one - the first cartouche name.

Examples are:

Menes
Khufu
Menkaure'
Teti
Kamose
'Ahmose
Aya
Smendes
Pami
Hakoris

it's called research. try some.
