What's the literal Arabic meaning of the place-name "Giza" where the famous Egyptian pyramids are located? Can someone ask an Arabic-speaking friend or collegue and get back to me with the answer?What's the literal Arabic meaning of the place-name "Giza" where the famous Egyptian pyramids are located?

Also (and this is MUCH more difficult), can anyone find out what the original Egyptian or Coptic name was for that location? I've spent hours and come up with nothing. If you can find this information, I'll credit you in the book I'm writing.
If you can find the original name of the place AND what it literally means in Coptic or Egyptian, I'll credit you in my book and send a free, autographed copy.
Thanks for your help,Neal
