Mahallat Menouf ( Arabic: محلة منوف) is a village in the Gharbia Governorate of Egypt.

Etymology

The village was formerly known as Minuf as-Sufla ( Arabic: منوف السفلى, lit.'the lower Menouf'). [1] It's derived from its Coptic name Panouf Khit ( Coptic: ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϧⲏⲧ, lit.'northern Panouf') and was used to indicate its location downriver in relation to the flow of the Nile River, a common way of identifying regions in Egypt. This name served to distinguish it from another city called Minuf al-Ulyah or "the upper Minuf". [2]

The Coptic name "Panouf" have originated from the Ancient Egyptian name "pꜣ-jw-nfr", meaning "the good island". The Greek name for the city, Onouphis Kato ( Ancient Greek: Ὀνουφις Κάτω, lit.'lower Onouphis'), is also derived from the Egyptian name. [3]
