The name Horus is Greek. In Ancient Egypt he was known as \"Heru\" (sometimes Hor or Har), which is translated as \"the distant one\" or \"the one on high\"(from the preposition \"hr\" meaning \"upon\" or \"above\"). He was considered to be a celestial falcon, and so his name could be a specific reference to the flight of the falcon, but could also be seen as a more general solar reference. It is thought that the worship of Horus was brought into Egypt during the predynastic period.
