are you people sure that these are egyptian names? Nessim doesn't mean spring, it means breeze (like a breeze of air)...and Ghobrial is simply arabic for Garbrial like you said. all the others i've never heard of before; are they spelled right?!
Boutros = Peter Boulos= Paul Sedrak= St. Sedrak one of the three saintly youth in the fire (Sedrak, Misak, and Abednago) Some extra ones:
Bestawros= Originally coptic Pi' estavros = Cross Salib= Cross Girgis= George Youssef= Joseph Abdelmesseh= servent of Christ Abdelmalek= servent of the King
Benyamin is just Benjamin...I think he is a prophet in the Old testament.
Meawad...it's an arabic name...but it's kinda hard to explain it's meaning...but it's something like God will give u back what u have lost as in "rabna yewa3dak"...mewa3ad is just the name for the verb "yewa3ad"...i think...lol
Wadi...I never heard of that before...maybe u have the wrong spelling.
Ghabras...it's been known as a coptic family name kinda of thing in Egypt...but I have no idea what it means
hey about Hanna is not samual's mother she is hannah and that supposed to be the same for stMary's mother but it's Anna or something like that in arabic hanna is a male name and it's somewhere in the bible 'a person was called Hanna' but obviously it's not the same in english.
Hanna (m) and Hanna (f) are written differently in arabic and pronounced differently eg. hanna (f) is pronounced as '7enna'

Hanna (m) and Hanna (f) are written differently in arabic and pronounced differently eg. hanna (f) is pronounced as '7enna'
the difference is in the last letter:
Hanna femenine: ꊃ
Hanna masculine : ꊂ

Nope read it again, until you see the difference!
Forever,
