Do you think it is known which ship in human history was the first to have a name, or is that too obscure a fact to uncover?

    In early times the ship's owner would combine his name with his gal's name as a name for his ship. 
    Eg you might call your ship the 'RanJane' or 'RandJane'. Or something.

      Aye, Matey; a randy Jane sounds quite appealing to me!

    It sounds like the beginning of a Beatles song.

    How do I know what the Egyptians called their barges?  Are they ships?  Imagine knowing the names of ships before then.  I say way too obscure.

    I bet the first ship had a name.  Something like boat or yacht.

    The first named ship in history was nicknamed 'Leaky'.
