If you are asking for the name used by the ancient Egyptians, it was "The pyramid which is the place of sunrise and sunset".

The word for pyramid was written out as mr, using the picture of a pyramid; the entire name is spelled out with the aX-bird followed by the signs X, t, the land determinative and the pyramid determinative. Put together this is transliterated as:

aXt mr literally "the horizon pyramid".

The place-name Giza (or Gizeh) is modern Arabic and was not used in ancient times.
