ܡܨܪܝܢ

Inherited from Aramaic מֵצרֵין (miṣrēn), from a common Semitic source, compare Hebrew מִצְרַיִם (mitsráyim), Akkadian 𒆳𒈪𒄑𒊑 (^KURmi-iṣ-ri /⁠Miṣri⁠/), Arabic مِصْر (miṣr) and Ugaritic 𐎎𐎕𐎗𐎎 (mṣrm /⁠Miṣrāma⁠/). The dual form, perhaps related to the ancient conceptualization of Egypt as two realms: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.
