The name is supposed to be taken from Coptos, the metropolis of the Thebaid as Egypt, is probably from that name inclosed, fortified. To inclose, to bind, to fortify. Whatever may be the origin of Copt, the adjective Coptic now refers to the people called Copts, who are Christians, and to their language.
