Why were the pharaohs called this name Pharaoh?

 Pharaoh

A title given to the ruler of ancient Egypt
The pharaoh,

The custom, custom and convention in modern times was to give the title of Pharaoh to the ruler in ancient Egypt, 

according to the custom of giving titles to the kings of the ancient world, for example all the king of the Persians is called a fracture even though the so-called is a king of their kings, then After that, it was customary to name every Persian king Kusra, as the kings of Rome were called Caesar, and the kings of Abyssinia as the Negus, and so, according to the usual practice, people in modern times used to call the ancient kings of Egypt the pharaohs, and the ruler in ancient Egypt wore the crown of the two countries

(A red crown is the symbol of the North and a white crown is the symbol of the South united in one crown, indicating the rule of the two countries and their authority over them),

 That is, he rules Upper and Lower Egypt. In conclusion, the word Pharaoh may have become commonly used in modern times as a title for ruler in ancient Egypt for reasons related to ideological inclinations and attempts at biblical interpretation from a single angle, but the linguistic investigation of the word remains far from the fact that the Egyptian rulers called this title.

Sources named "Pharaoh."

Western Egyptologists believe that the title "Baro" in the ancient Egyptian language means "the great house" or "the great house" or what means "the high door", in relation to the structure of "bar-aa", which appeared in the Eighteenth and Ninth Dynasties. Ten, in spite of this, we do not find evidence in the cartouches of one of the royal cartouches bearing the names of kings referring to that title "Bar-Aa". This shows the attempt of these Western scholars to reconcile the effects and history with what was mentioned in the Torah, where the Torah indicated in my travel The formation and exit of the kings of Egypt with the title of "Pharaoh", but the Torah did not differentiate in that title between the three kings who ruled Egypt at that time and those who were contemporary with the prophets of God: Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, peace be upon them, respectively. In this regard, since the title "as a secondary title" for kings did not appear except in the Eighteenth Dynasty, as we mentioned, it is therefore difficult to imagine that the King of Egypt would be called this title during the era of Ibrahim, that is, what precedes the appearance of the structure of "Bar-Aa" by more than four or Five complete centuries, if we assume, of course, the validity of the link between the term "Pharaoh" and Pi N "br-aa".

However, the term “Pharaoh” has a source other than the Torah, namely the Qur’an, where the word appears as a noun of knowledge more than a title in the verses of the Qur’an.

And Moses said, O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

 Hence, it is more likely to say that the word "Pharaoh" is a scientific name rather than a title that was circulated to the kings of ancient Egypt and became a title for every king who ruled Egypt.
