names for an African character?

in the book I’m writing the main characters go to Egypt on a sort of ancient Egyptian treasure hunt (similar to the Mummy but not exactly)
Anybody have some good Egyptian or other African names I could name for the African characters they meet on their adventure?

ps i know this isn’t really a “baby name” but it is still a naming question so i put it in here anyway
jj – I think we all how to pronoune pharaoh.
However, it appears not all of us are aware it is not a name…

V B – lol I know but I didn’t want to be like “um I’ll call them Cleopatra” or just name them after Egyptians gods or something
