Mizraim (Hebrew מצרים Mitzráyim or Miṣrāyim/Miṣráyim; cf. Arabic مصر Miṣr) is the Hebrew name for the land of Egypt, with the dual suffix -āyim, perhaps referring to the "two Egypts", Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Mizraim was Cush's inlaw who, together along with Phut and Canaan, made up the Hamite branch of Noah's descendants.

Some would see supposed similarities with the Egyptian god Asar's name and story with those attributed to the eastern Asshur cannot but suggest a possible Mesopotamian origin for this one from whence came Mizraim. It has been suggested in New Age circles that opposing assimilation into Kush, Meskiagkasher left Kish to the lands of his cousin Asshur where the Uruk-Nimrod dynasty was born before moving with his followers "from Asshur" to establish his own land in the Nile valley.
