Modern-day Egypt is known as Masr ( مَصر ) in Egyptian Arabic, or as Misr (مِصر‎ ) in standard Arabic. Officially the country is the Arab Republic of Egypt. Masr is a name of great antiquity. It is related to the Biblical Hebrew word for the land of Egypt, Mizraim ( מִצְרַיִם / מִצְרָיִם). Neo-Babylonian texts use the term Mizraim for Egypt. The name was inscribed in the famous Ishtar gate of Babylon. Ugaritic inscriptions refer to Egypt as Msrm, in the Amarna tablets it is called Misri, and Assyrian and Babylonian records called Egypt Mu-ṣur and Muṣri.
