== Name == thumb|left|120px|Iti, cartouche name of Djer in the Abydos King List. Jürgen von Beckerath translates the hieroglyphs of "Djer" as "Defender of Horus." The King lists of the New Kingdom (13th century BC) record the third pharaoh as ꞽttꞽ, which is sometimes also translated as Iteti. The earliest names given in these lists are almost certainly later tradition, as throne names, the one used in official annals, are only attested from the reign of Den, the fifth pharaoh. In fact, it's possible that ꞽttꞽ is the result of a later scribe mistaking one of Djer's honorific (recorded in the Palermo Stone) as an actual name.
