Best Answer

The ancient Egyptians believed that names were almost sacred. That knowing someone's name gave you power over that person. Therefore, some Egyptians did not give out their real name. The god Ra is an example. Ra was not the real name of the sun god. His name was kept secret so that no one would have power over him.
