Beautiful Egyptian Girl Names & Meanings

Egyptian girl names draw from two distinct traditions: the ancient pharaonic names of Egypt's golden age and the modern Arabic names used in contemporary Egypt. Ancient names like Nefertiti (the beautiful one has come) and Cleopatra carry the mystique of one of history's greatest civilizations, while modern Egyptian names like Fatima and Mariam reflect the country's Islamic heritage.
