Etymology
PAANCHI is likely 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] but that PHARAOH's name has been reread as Piye.[6]
Robert Smith has suggested that perhaps this is the name given to JOSEPH by PHARAOH, paʿnēaḥ, Paaneah in Genesis 41:45. (RFS) The full name (Zaphnath-paaneah) fits a well-known EGYPTIAN name pattern: dd-DN-iw=f-ʿnh "DN has said: 'he will live!'"[7] The hypochoristic form of the name iw=f-ʿnh is known from the Ptolemaic period,[8] 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.’”[9]
