Misr: The historical Zensunni (Fremen) term for themselves: "The People". Apparently the Misr Sunni ancestors fled from Nilotic al-Ourouba to become the Fremen and or Zensunni.
Miṣr, the Arabic and modern official name of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: Maṣr), is of Semitic origin, directly cognate with other Semitic words for Egypt such as the Hebrew מִצְרַיִם (Mitzráyim), literally meaning "the two straits" (a reference to the dynastic separation of upper and lower Egypt).[8] The word originally connoted "metropolis" or "civilization" and means "country", or "frontier-land".
Misr may refer to:
- Misr—the romanized Arabic name for the country of Egypt
- .misr or مصر. the internationalized domain name of Egypt
- Misr al-Fustat, the Muslim-founded capital which succeeded Alexandria, and was later absorbed into Cairo
