egiziana

Egiziana is the feminine form of the Italian adjective and demonym egiziano, meaning Egyptian. It is used to indicate origin, attribute, or relation to Egypt when the noun it modifies is feminine, and to denote a female person from Egypt. Examples include una donna egiziana (an Egyptian woman), arte egiziana (Egyptian art), and cultura egiziana (Egyptian culture).

In Italian, the masculine form is egiziano and the plural forms are egiziani for masculine and egiziane for feminine. The feminine plural egiziane would describe groups of women from Egypt or feminine nouns characterized as Egyptian.

Etymology traces the term back to Latin Aegyptius, itself derived from the Greek Aigyptos, reflecting the historical roots of Egypt in European languages. The Italian forms egiziano and egiziana developed through standard Romance language evolution from these classical roots.
