The Word Coptic means Egyptian. It derives from the Greek Word Aigyptos, which originally comes from the ancient Egyptian HA-ka-ptah, which means the house of Pitah spirit. An admired divinity in Egyptian Mythology. From the Conquer of the Arabs and till this day, Coptic refers to the Christian Egyptians to differentiate them from the Muslim Egyptians.
