Potipherah

פּוֹטִי פֶרַע , פֶּרַע

(poh tih fuhr' uh) A priest in the Egyptian city of On (Heliopolis) where the sun god, Re, was worshiped. Joseph married his daughter, Asenath, at the pharaoh's command (Genesis 41:45 ). Potipherah and Potiphar are the same in Egyptian, leading some to believe that one name was slightly changed in Hebrew to distinguish between the captain of the guard and the priest.
