Which ruler's name translates from the Egyptian for 'Great House'?
"Horus name The Horus name is the oldest known and used crest of Ancient Egyptian rulers. It belongs to the ""Great five names"" of an Egyptian pharaoh. However, modern Egyptologists and linguists are starting to prefer the more neutral term: the ""serekh name"". This is because not every pharaoh had placed the falcon, which symbolizes the deity Horus, atop his (or in some cases, her) serekh. The picture of the Horus name is made of two basic elements: A sitting or walking figure of a certain deity holds a rectangular, ornamental vignette, imitating the floor plan of a palace facade"

The etymological source of the name of Egypt is important since three 1835 prepublication manuscripts of the LDS Book of Abraham read ""Zeptah"" instead of Egyptus as the name of the elder Egyptus (1:25).

It was used only in larger phrases such as ""smr pr-ꜥꜣ"" ""Courtier of the High House"", with specific reference to the buildings of the court or palace. From the Twelfth Dynasty onward, the word appears in a wish formula ""Great House, May it Live, Prosper, and be in Health"", but again"
"Great King Great King and the equivalent in many languages is a semantic title for historical titles of monarchs, suggesting an elevated status among the host of Kings and Princes. This title is most usually associated with the shahanshah (Shah of shahs, i.e. king of kings, indeed translated in Greek ""Basileus tōn basileōn"", later adopted by the Byzantine emperors) of Persia under the Achaemenid dynasty whose vast empire in Asia lasted for 200 years up to the year 330 BC, and later adopted by successors of the Achaemenid empire whose monarchial names were also succeeded by ""the Great"".

After the Middle Kingdom pharaohs often used both their prenomen and nomen in separate cartouches, which sometimes led to confusion amongst Egyptologists. The reason for the confusion derives from differences between the royal names presented by the ancient Historian Manetho, who wrote an history of Egypt in the 3rd century BC, and the older Egyptian kinglists, such as the Abydos King List, the Saqqara Tablet and the Turin Canon, which date"

So Hotepsekhemwy's full name may be read as ""the two powers are reconciled"" or ""pleasing in powers"", which suggests a significant political meaning.

However, although the ""king of Israel"" is generally accepted, the rendering of the phrase ""bytdwd"" as ""house of David"" has been disputed by some.

In the 2nd Millennium BCE Near East, there was a tradition of reciprocally using such addresses between powers as a way of diplomatically recognizing each other as an equal.
