Egypt
The name Egypt is an English rendering of the Greek name Aiguptos, which in turn is a transliteration of the Egyptian Hwt-Ptah, which means Temple or Ptah. The Egyptians themselves named their country Keme, which means the Black Land. In the Bible the country of Egypt is always denoted by the name Mizraim. |
