Meaning & origin
Mizraim is a rare biblical name drawn directly from the Hebrew word for Egypt. First recorded in U.S. births in 1985, it saw its peak usage in 2007 and has remained stable in the decades since. The name has never entered the top 1000, giving it a distinctive, scholarly quality. Its biblical roots make it appealing to families seeking a name with ancient significance, though it remains uncommon even among modern Old Testament revivals.
Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt, appearing in the Book of Genesis as a son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:6). The name is often interpreted as a dual form, possibly referring to Upper and Lower Egypt. It has been used as a given name since the late 20th century, particularly among families with an interest in biblical or historical names.
