'''Cochome''' is likely derived from the Greek Κόχουμη or Κόχουμης.
Early translators have used this to refer to the Egyptian region around [[Saqqara]] and [[Heliopolis]]; a region where the earliest Egyptian [[pyramids]] are. Scholars now agree that Cochome is a corrupted form of "Cochome-Memphis" meaning "near [[Memphis]]".
==Historical Uses==
[[Manetho]] claimed that "[Pharoh [[Venephes]]] raised the pyramids near Cochome."<ref>"οὗτος παρα Κωχωμην ηγειρε πυραμίδας"<br>Cory, Issac Preston, The Ancient Fragments, ''Manetho'', The Egyptian Dynasties</ref> This is where the [[Step Pyramid]] of [[Saqqara]] is; which is noted as the oldest colossal stone structure in [[Egypt]] but what is being refered or attributed to is questionable.
