It's the Hellenized form of the Hebrew "Par'oh", with the glottal (represented there by an apostrophe) being the Hebrew letter 'ayin', which is often turned into an A when Hebrew is transliterated. (And it's also turned into all kinds of other things. The Hebrew name for the city 'Amora -- you know, the next town over from Sodom -- also begins with an ayin, but our conventional transliteration represents *that* glottal with a 'g', 'Gomorrah'. I suppose the god-king of the Nile valley could have ended up called 'Phargoh'. Yah sure, you betcha...)
