Egypt is the internationally used name but not the name used by the people of the country. It derives from the Greek Aegyptos, which in turn probably comes from ancient Egyptian words referring to the land ( Hut-ka-ptah, or house of the essence [ka] of Ptah, a local god).
We all recognize the word Egypt as the name of a modern country in North Africa, not a part of the Middle East as is commonly misperceived. Most Egyptologists and lay people know that Egypt is derived from the Greek word Aegyptos. But few have ever traced the origin of this word. Aegyptos is a contraction of the Greek term Hi-Gi-Ptos.
