to understand how Egypt got its current name , u should know the historical background , when Egypt was part of the Ottoman Empire , it was just Egypt , a region from the Empire , then under the British occupation it was "the united Arab kingdom" , united b/c it was Egypt and Sudan , and Arab b/c it is an Arabic speaking country
Then , came the 23rd of July revolution , and Egypt became a Republic , named the United Arab Republic , still united b/c it was Egypt and Sudan , then Sudan decided to split and so Egypt became just The Arab Republic of Egypt...
i hope this was the answer u were looking for..
in case u were wondering how it got the name Egypt.. i read somewhere that it is derived from what Egyptians used to be called : Copts , it was derived to Gopts , then Gepts , then somehow it became Egypt
Its hard to tell as each language changes it:
English - Egypt
Egyptian - Misr
Arabic - Masr
According to Wikipedia, the English name Egypt was borrowed from the Middle French Egypte, from the Latin Aegyptus, from the ancient Greek Aígyptos.
