The Origin of the Name, Egypt
* Egypt has had many names in many different languages.
Today, its official name is Junhuriyah Misr al-Arabiyah,
which in English means the Arab Republic of Egypt.

*The English name Egypt is derived from the ancient Greek
Aígyptos (Αἴγυπτος).                                               Egypt by the Arabic

*The ancient Egyptian name of the country is Kemet which
means "black land", referring to the fertile black soils of the
Nile flood plains.

* Egyptians themselves refer to Egypt as Misr which means
“the Protected Land”.
