No, gypsies are not the same as Egyptians. Gypsies are ethnic groups with origins in South Asia who migrated to Europe over a thousand years ago, while Egyptians are people from the country of Egypt in North Africa. The term "gypsy" is considered derogatory by some and the preferred term is Romani.
