Pharaoh is a strong and distinctive name of ancient Egyptian origin, meaning "great house". It was borne by numerous rulers of Ancient Egypt, including Ramesses II, one of the most celebrated pharaohs, who reigned during the 19th Dynasty. In modern times, Pharaoh has been used as an American given name since the early 20th century. The name gained popularity in the United States after the 1967 film "The Pharaoh's Daughter" and reached its peak usage in the late 1980s. Pharaoh is also a popular choice among professional athletes, with notable bearers including Pharoah McKever, an American football player, and Pharoah Harper, a former Major League Baseball outfielder.
