===Ancient rulers=== {{Further|Throne name (Ancient Egypt)}} Ancient rulers in many parts of the world took regnal names or throne names which were different from their personal name. This is known to be true, for instance, of several kings of [[Assyria]], and appears to be the case for several kings of [[Kingdom of Judah|Judah]]. In [[Ancient Egypt]], Pharaohs took a number of names—the ''[[Ancient Egyptian royal titulary#(Throne name (praenomen)|praenomen]]'' being the most commonly used, on occasion in conjunction with their personal name.
