one”), the name of pre-Meroitic Nubian kings of Egypt of the 7th and 8th c. BC, for example, (1) the son of Kerihor (see Book of Mormon Korihor/Corihor), high priest of Amon;  
(2) ruler of the South (Nubia, Kush) who conquered all of Egypt and named himself high priest of Amon at Thebes. In the seventh c. BC, Piankhi’s successor fled from the Assyrian
invasion to a fortified town named kipkip or kibkib, a name which suggests to Nibley the Book of Mormon cities Gidgiddoni and Gimgimno (LID 24–25, 29; ABM 232; see also SC,  
194).

Lehite PN 1. Contender for the Judgement seat, son of PAHORAN No. 1, d. 52 BC (Helaman 1:3, 7)

Etymology

PAANCHI is quite plausibly the EGYPTIAN name p3-ʿnh first attested in the Thirteenth Dynasty (ca. 1800-1600 B.C.)[1] becoming popular from the Twenty-First through Twenty-Seventh Dynasties,[2] and surviving until Roman times (transcribed into Greek as Ponchēs)[3] The name means "the living one."[4] (JG). Hugh Nibley has suggested that this is the same name as the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty Pharaoh,[5] although that pharaoh's name has also been read as Piye.[6]

It has been suggested that this name, found in HEBREW as פענח paʿnēaḥ, in English as Paaneah, was given to Joseph by Pharaoh in Genesis 41:45[7] (RFS). The full name (Zaphnath-paaneah) fits a well-known naming pattern: dd-DN-iw=f-ʿnh "DN has said: 'he will live!'"[8] The hypochoristic form of the name iw=f-ʿnh is known from the Ptolemaic period, [9] but non-hypochoristic forms are known much earlier.

Cf. Book of Mormon PACUMENI, PAHORAN (PACHUS, PAGAG?), TEOMNER, TEANCUM.

See also the Philistine name ptgyh, a goddess worshiped in the PHILISTINE city of Ekron, possibly meaning “‘the goddess Gaia (Earth) who was worshiped in Pytho.’”[10]
