== Name == The name ''Timayy'' is derived from the Coptic word ⲑⲙⲟⲩ ''tmoui'', meaning "island", a fairly common Coptic place name element. In this case it is an abbreviation of Demotic ''tꜣ-mꜣw.t-n-pr-bꜣ-nb-ḏd.t'' "the island of Mendes". The second part ''Amdid'' (older form Mandid or Mandadi) comes from {{Langx|cop|ⲡϭⲓⲙⲉⲛⲧⲏϯ}}, a compound toponym the first part of which is ϭⲓⲏ "border, edge" and the second one comes from Egyptian ''pr-bꜣ-nb-ḏd.t'' "temple of Aries of the lord of ḏdt" which is also the source of {{Langx|grc|Μενδης}}.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Peust|first=Carsten|title=Die Toponyme vorarabischen Ursprungs im modernen Ägypten|year=2010|pages=96}}</ref>

== History == There were Coptic revolts in Timayy in 725-726 and 831-832. It had a Christian bishopric.<ref name="MIFAO"/>
