The name of the city is derived from early Egyptian Zawty (Z3JW.TJ) (late Egyptian, Səyáwt) adopted into the Coptic as Syowt[2] ⲥⲓⲟⲟⲩⲧ [sɪˈjowt], which means "Guardian" of the northern approach of Upper Egypt.[3] In Graeco-Roman Egypt, it was called Lycopolis or Lykopolis (GreekΛυκόπολις, "ἡ Λύκων πόλις"),[4] ('wolf city') Lycon,[5] or Lyco.[6][7]
