The noun PTOLEMY has 2 senses: 1. Alexandrian astronomer who proposed a geocentric system of astronomy that was undisputed until Copernicus (2nd century AD) 2. an ancient dynasty of Macedonian kings who ruled Egypt from 323 BC to 30 BC; founded by Ptolemy I and ended with Cleopatra. Familiarity information: PTOLEMY used as a noun is rare.
Not only did Ptolemy become supreme ruler of Egypt, but also added Palestine and lower Syria to his empire. Under his rule, all of these territories appear to have prospered. Ptolemy I Soter took the Egyptian name Meryamun Setepenre, which means Beloved of Amun, Chosen of Re. Hence, he attempted to take on the guise of a Pharaoh as other foreign rulers before him, and is even said to have married a daughter of Nectanebo II, though this is by no means certain.
