Nomen (ancient Egypt)

sˁ-Rˁ
Sa-Rê
Son of RêCartouche name of king Khafra with the Niswt-Bity name and the Sa-Rê title inside

The nomen of ancient Egyptian pharaohs was one of the "great five names". It was introduced by king Djedefre, third pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty, as an emendation to the traditional nswt-bity crest. The nomen was later separated from the prenomen to become an independent royal name.
