Best Answer

Ancient Egyptians generally had only one name.

In the case of royalty, individuals could have many names, but these were all what we would call "first names" . There were no surnames or family names.

A pharaoh of the 19th dynasty was called userma'atre' setepenre' rameses, better known today as Rameses II.

Non-royals were known by their only name plus their title, their job or their village, for example Penrenenutet, guardian of the estate.
