1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Zaphnath-paaneah
   the name which Pharaoh gave to Joseph when he raised him to the
   rank of prime minister or grand vizier of the kingdom (Gen.
   41:45). This is a pure Egyptian word, and has been variously
   explained. Some think it means "creator," or "preserver of
   life." Brugsch interprets it as "governor of the district of the
   place of life", i.e., of Goshen, the chief city of which was
   Pithom, "the place of life." Others explain it as meaning "a
   revealer of secrets," or "the man to whom secrets are revealed."
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
Zaphnath-paaneah, one who discovers hidden things
