The origins of the name 'elephant' are as follows :\n'Elephant' is derived from 'olyfaunt' (c.1300), from Old French 'oliphant', from Latin 'elephantus', from Greek 'elephas' (gen. 'elephantos') - probably via the Phoenician (Hamitic) 'elu'- the source of the word for 'elephant' in many Semetic languages, or possibly from the Semetic 'ibhah'. \nRe-spelled after 1550, on the Latin model. \n'White elephant' (1851) supposedly arose from the practice of the King of Siam of presenting one of the sacred albino elephants to a courtier who had fallen from favor : the gift was a great honor, but the cost of proper upkeep of one was ruinous. \nTo 'see the elephant' meaning 'be acquainted with life, and gain knowledge by experience' is an American English colloquialism from 1835.

The English name "Egypt" came via the Latin word Aegyptus derived from the ancient Greek word Αίγυπτος (Aigyptos). According to Strabo, Αίγυπτος (Aigyptos), in ancient Greek meant "below the Aegean" (Aἰγαίου ὑπτίως, "Aegaeou uptiōs"), and was formed by the combination of the two words. It has also been suggested that the word is a corruption of the ancient Egyptian phrase ḥwt-k3-ptḥ meaning "home of the Ka (Soul) of Ptah", the name of a temple of the god Ptah at Memphis.\n\nCairo in arabic is "al Qahira" which means "Triumphant".
