Ancient Egyptian Surnames

Question

I'm looking for some ancient egyptian surnames for a story I'm working on. Any idea where I should look?

Answer 1

An early Chinese emperor invented surnames nearly 5,000 years ago, because of a high population in his region. Ancient Egyptians did NOT initially have surnames. It was a practice that slowly evolved, as the world population increased from about 100 million in 3,000 BCE, to 250 million, by 1 CE...

Answer 2

Ancient Egyptians did not use surnames.  For most people they were called by their given birth name only or to avoid confusion, their birth name followed by "son of" or "daughter of" and then their father's name.

Official names were much more confusing, with Pharaohs being the most complicated of all, having up to five separate parts.

Take a look at the sites below for some name ideas:
