The Greeks named it Aigyptos, which is thought to have derived from the words meaning "below the Aegean (Sea)". The Latin version became Aegyptus, and the later French Egypte.
It is worth noting that Egyptians themselves have never called the country "Egypt" or anything similar. The Ancient Egyptians called their country Kemet and modern Egyptians have called the country Misr (مصر).
