The word Egyptians is derived from the Latin term Aegyptius, which in turn comes from the ancient Greek term Aigyptios. The Greek word was used to refer to the people of the ancient kingdom of Egypt. It is believed that the term Aigyptios originally stemmed from the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt, Hwt-ka-Ptah, which was pronounced as Hikaptah and eventually evolved into Kemt or Kemet in the ancient Egyptian language. Over time, this name became Aigyptios in Greek and later transformed into Aegyptius in Latin, ultimately leading to the modern English term Egyptians.
