Egyptian kings of North Atlantic islands, we hear (8)

I believe the answer is:
pharaohs
'egyptian kings' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pharaohs that I've seen before include "Ancient kings of Egypt" , "Ancient Egyptian royalty" , "Ancient Egyptian kings" , "Royal rulers of ancient Egypt" .)
