His Nisut-Bity title and his Nebty name are unknown.[3] Additionally, Khaba is one of the very few kings from Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom times with an archaeologically proven Gold name, a likely predecessor to the Golden Horus name, which Khaba may also have introduced. Aside from Khaba, the only kings with Gold names who lived before king Sneferu, founder of the 4th dynasty, were Djer, Den, Nynetjer, Khasekhemwy, and Djoser.[3] From Snefru onward, the Golden Horus name became a fixed royal title to any ruling king, no matter how long the king ruled. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2326.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2326.txt
