Mizraim is Hebrew in Origin.

Mizraim (Hebrew Mitsráyim, מִצְרַיִם) names both the land of Egypt in the Hebrew Bible and the eponymous ancestor listed as a son of Ham (Genesis 10:6). The form is grammatically dual, often interpreted as “the two Egypts,” alluding to Upper and Lower Egypt. Etymologically it relates to the Semitic root m-ṣ-r, “enclosure, fortified place/border,” seen in Arabic Miṣr/Maṣr (“Egypt”) and Akkadian miṣru (“border”). Hence the broad sense is “Egypt; the double land.”

As a given name, Mizraim remains uncommon but appears sporadically in Jewish and Christian naming, especially in communities that favor rare biblical genealogical names, including some Hispanic and Afro-Caribbean contexts. Variants and transliterations include Mizráyim, Mitsrayim, and Mitzrayim; the Vulgate lists Mesraim, and Septuagint forms vary. Cognate toponyms such as Arabic Miṣr/Maṣr are related but typically not used as personal names. The name carries a dignified, ancient-world resonance.
