Raneb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raneb was a pharaoh during the Second dynasty of Egypt. Manetho states that he ruled Egypt for 39 years but such a high figure cannot be confirmed from the few contemporary objects known from his reign. Some books also call him Nebre.
His name actually came from the name of the god Ra, also sometimes written Re, thus giving his name a meaning 'The Son of Ra'.
