Firoun’s real name?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

What was Firoun’s real name? Do they still have his mummy?

Different names have been found in different books. Some people claim his name was Walid Bin Musab bin Riyan. Others have said his name was Qantoos. Some historians remember his name to be Qaboos. But, it is commonly accepted that the mummy found in Egypt today from ancient times is from that Pharaoh which was present at the time of Moses who drowned in the water.
