The article only mentions the supposed origin for copt (it seems to have been originally for a cat), however the older attestation for Misr in that text from the same region is ignored a Linear B tablet also has Misr in it. d mi-sa-ra-jo (Misraios, also
etymologically ‘man of Egypt’ [MiÒr] (KN F 841.4) (cf. SHELMERDINE 2008, §5.4.2.2, BENNET, J. 1985, The Structure of the Linear B Administration at Knossos, AJA 89, 231-49), not to mention it is likely older "(misr), more commonly found in Akkadian and Ugaritic documents from Syro-Palestine and Mesopotamia (Cline 1993: 18). Mis-sa-ra-jo appears on Knossos tablet KN F 841+867, possibly used as a man’s name, which Cline believes was meant to be
pronounced as Misraios (Cline 1994: 128).
And undounbtedly older still its attestation as Misr in Linear A (CH # 333, A1) (Best & Woudhuizen 1988: 50-51; most recently and comprehensively Achterberge.a. 2004: 104; Landau 1958: 270. Cf. Luwian hieroglyphic Mizra “Egypt” (Karkamis A6, § 4), see Woudhuizen 2015a: 280 and the composite personal name Mizramuwas) in the oldest dated Minoan Tablet.

A closer look at the source might be needed. It says that Sudanese was the largest group by October 2023, but it doesn't say when the refugee numbers were counted. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:42, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
This article, Egypt, has a section specifically talking about the names of the country and also goes in-depth into each of the names' etymologies.
I was referring to a part in which it speaks about Strabo's folk etymology and saying it should also be mentioned that ḥwt-kꜣ-ptḥ might also be the origin of this word. Hexonite (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
https://www.jacobusvandijk.nl/docs/Ptah.pdf in the first page, "and the name of his temple—Ḥwt-kꜣ-Ptḥ ("The temple of ka of Ptah")—became the name of the city of Memphis and ultimately of the whole country ( Hikupta > Gr. Aigyptos, "Egypt")."
level-3 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
