Etymology
This name contains what appears to be a JAREDITE element, kumen/cumen, and thus an EGYPTIAN or Semitic etymology would be suspect (JAT).
Nevertheless, several EGYPTIAN derivations suggested by Nibley seem promising. The name “resembles that borne by some of the last priest governors of EGYPT, whose names are rendered Pamenech, Pamnkh, Pamenches, etc. The Greeks (who often furnish the key to the correct reading of EGYPTIAN names) put the guttural before the nasal Pachomios. The most famous man of the name commanded all the forces of the south and was also high priest of Horus. At least one other governorgeneral of EGYPT bore the name” (LID, 25 & 29). Confer possibly the EGYPTIAN PN p3-kmn, Pakamen, “blind man” (LID, 29; ABM, 233; EHA, citing Wb V, 107). See also RFS, Egyptianisms, p. 6, for p3-kwmni and other suggestions. Nibley suggests that Pakumeni is the name of an EGYPTIAN hero (ABM, 234).
