Cartouche Definition :
is actually a French word meaning 'gun cartridge'. When Napoleon's soldiers were in Egypt, they nicknamed
the oval shape surrounding the king names with that word because it reminded them of the shape of their gun cartridges, or bullets. At the time, people could not read
hieroglyphic writing,
it's became so commonly used that it has remained the standard name for the shape around the name of an Egyptian pharaoh or queen.
