What are some cool Egyptian names (first and last) for a male and female?

Egyptian first and last names for a male and female for a story I'm writing. They aren't married or connected.

Update:

Okay, I would prefer ancient christian Egyptian.

    ancient or current?

    best female name is Tawhida and it is the egyptian equivalent of trinity in English but means one rather than three. I never saw this name other than in Egypt.

    The best male name is Saad,means good luck and it is used both by Muslims and Coptic Christians in Egypt.

    *****************************************

    The above user gave you Turkish and Coptic names not Egyptian names. Urban Egyptians kind of stopped using local names and replaced with Arab and Turkish names. There are some names unique for Egyptians even if it is Arabic like Hasnenen, Mahmaden, Nbwaya, and some names after egyptian areas like El Shargawy, El Askandrany, El Aswany, El Bahraway.

    Names are related to relgion too. You should mention a Muslim or chrstian egyptian. Also names are different from rural and upper egypt and urban areas.

    I have no idea about ancient but for current names I'd suggest some unique rural Egyptian names used by only egyptian peasants:

    Female Muslim:

    Bahana Meslhe

    SetAboha Hasanen

    Khadra Mahamden

    Nbwaya Al Syad

    Tawhida El Aswany

    Male Muslim:

    Meslehe El Shazly

    Hasanenen El Komy
