If you live in Memphis then actually the city in Egypt was allegedly founded by the Pharaoh Menes/Narmer who United Upper and Lower Egypt and they probably called it Inebu-hedj.

Fun fact about Menes/Narmer. Since he was the “father of Egypt” he used to perform a ceremony where he would go down to the Nile at sunrise and ejaculate into the River. Supposedly he died because he was performing the ceremony one day and was attacked and killed either by a Hippo or a Crocodile.
