Zaphenath-paneah Psonthomphanech

Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

(Gen. 41:45)—the Egyptian name Pharaoh gave Joseph after Joseph interpreted his dreams and advised him concerning the coming seven-year famine. The source offers the traditional meanings “savior of the world,” “savior of life,” or “revealer of secrets.” The Egyptian etymology remains disputed, so none of these should be treated as certain.
