First known Pharoan in Egypt Is King Mena ( pronounced Mee-na) , and also called King Narmer . He's the king who united Upper and Lower Egypt under one rule.

According to Ancient Egyptian history (as written by the Egyptian historian Manetho, c305--285 BCE), Menes was the founder of the unified Egyptian state which combined Upper and Lower Egypt under a single monarchy.
Archaeologists are unsure whether Menes should be identified as either Narmer or Aha, the first and second kings of the First Dynasty. Archaeological evidence exists for both possibilities: the Narmer Palette excavated at Hierakonpolis shows on one side King Narmer wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and on the reverse side wearing the crown of Lower Egypt, whilst an ivory plaque excavated at Naqada bears both the names Aha and Men (Menes).

The Pharaoh of Egypt was King Menes. He united Upper and Lower Egypt. By then, Egypt was ruled by Pharaohs. The word "Pharaoh" means "great house".
