The Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was the political and religious leader of the people and held the titles 'Lord of the Two Landsâ and 'High Priest of Every Templeâ. The word 'pharaohâ is the Greek form of the Egyptian 'peroâ or 'per-a-aâ, which was the designation for the royal residence and means `Great House'. The name of the residence became associated with the ruler and, in time, was used exclusively for the leader of the people.
