Prenomen (Ancient Egypt)
The prenomen (alternatively written praenomen) of Ancient Egyptian pharaohs was one of the " great five names" of Egyptian rulers. Other terms for this "great name" are Nswt-bity name and throne name.
It is thought by some Egyptologists and historians to be the birth name of the rulers, although they are not known to have used it in public inscriptions. Other Egyptologists believe that the prenomen was an independent name exclusively invented for the nswt-bity crest.
