Quote:The Egyptians called their country KEMIT, Aegyptus, or better Aegyptos is the Greek translation (somebody shall correct me if I'm wrong)Misr is also an ancient name. It's still the official name, but Misreël is a name for Egypt already mentioned in the Bible.
Trivia: Gypsies are called that because they were thought to originate in Egypt.
