Tips

usage
拉麦士 is an alternative transliteration not found in standard reference works. The most common Mandarin renderings are 拉美西斯 (Lāměixīsī) for the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses, and (Lāmài) for the biblical Lamech (descendant of Cain in Genesis 4). 拉麦士 likely arose in a specific fan-translation or older publication.
memory
Three syllables: (lā) + (mài) + (shì) ≈ 'La-mai-shi'. The ending (literally 'scholar; warrior') is a stately closer for masculine foreign names — found also in 战士 (warrior) and 骑士 (knight).
