Khasekhemwi combined the traditional Horus-name with the new Seth-name introduced by Peribsen. This resulted in a Horus-Seth-name. Khasekhemwi is the only king known to have had such a name.

The two latter names are probably a misinterpretation of the first one.

Manetho does not appear to refer to a king whose name might resemble any of the names that have been used to identify Khasekhemwi.
