Piankhher

Piankhher, also sometimes spelled Piankhre or Piankhiher, is a rarely encountered ancient Egyptian given name. It appears primarily as a personal name and lacks significant historical or cultural association beyond its usage. Its exact meaning and etymology are uncertain due to its infrequent appearance in surviving texts.

The name likely combines elements referencing the god Piankhy (also known as Piye), who was a Nubian king who conquered and ruled Egypt during the 8th century BCE, and potentially an element conveying concepts like "life," "face," or "appearance," depending on the specific hieroglyphic composition and interpretation. However, without more frequent and contextual usage, definitively reconstructing the name's complete meaning remains speculative.

Evidence for the existence of individuals named Piankhher is primarily limited to personal inscriptions and minor historical records. It is not associated with any particularly prominent figures or significant events in Egyptian history.
