In modern as well as ancient Hebrew, Egypt is "Mitsraim," (מצרים) which means "the two borders," as in Upper and Lower Egypt.

The Greek term for Egypt: Aígyptos (Αἴγυπτος) is believed to have evolved from the compound term Aigaiou huptiōs(Aἰγαίου ὑπτίως), which means "below the Aegean", referring to the relative position of Egypt vis-à-vis Greece.
