Shenouda
Shenouda (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is an Egyptian male name, which is commonly used among Egyptian Christians (the Copts). The name comes from Template:Langx (Script error: No such module "lang".) and is a composite of the Egyptian words: Script error: No such module "lang". (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_coptic.css" />ϣⲉ "son"), Script error: No such module "lang". (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_coptic.css" />ⲉⲛ "of") and Script error: No such module "lang". (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_coptic.css" />Ⲛⲟⲩϯ "God"), thus meaning the son of God.
The difference in pronunciation and transcription of the last part of the name is because of differing pronunciations in the main Coptic dialects for the Coptic alphabet.
Some of the most famous people with this name include:
Popes of Alexandria
- Pope Shenouda I of Alexandria (r. 859–880)
- Pope Shenouda II of Alexandria (r. 1032–1046)
