The original name of the city was the White Walls, and the term may have referred originally to the king’s palace, which would have been built of white brick. The modern name of Memphis is a Greek version. Another geographic term for Memphis, Hut-ka-Ptah (house of the ka of Ptah),  was later applied to the country as a whole.
