It’s hard to come up with one and even harder to spell it.
The Asterix books come up with some pretty funny names for Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Gauls (ancient French people). Check them out sometime.
I. Shluffed Too Long They Mummified Me. I know, it’s a long last name.
Kugelpatra.
Before you start laughing at my taste in names, remember this – when Bnei Yisrael were dwelling in Mitzrayim, we commend them for not giving their children Egyptian names, so it just didn’t seem right to make up an 100% Egyptian name for myself!
Batya, but that’s a stretch…
@oomis – It is indeed! 😀 “

Moshe, a fine Egyptian name bestowed by a princess.
The interesting thing about Moshe Rabbeinu’s name is that the princess was speaking HEBREW when she said “Ki mi hamayim mishisihu.” Go figure… I wonder what the name really sounded like in Egyptian.
Actually, this may be in the gemorah, the torah records the loshon hakodesh version of what she said in Egyptian.
Marty.
It took me two years, but I finally got oomis’s joke.
