    "Bishoy" is a coptic name... it means high or lofty!

    Stefanos - Stephen

    Stavros (Greek) - Cross

    Yostos- Justus

    Youlios - Julius

    Martiros - Martyr (there are people with this name :) )

    Antonious  - Antony/ Anthony

    Arsenious - Arsenious

    Look through the commemoration of the saints in tasbeha and the liturgy-- you'll find a lot more there.

    first of all, please don't give him(providing he is a nephew, not a neice) a name that will get him "bullied" in school ;D ;D ;D  like it could still be a Coptic name, but nothing too "weird"...

    personally i like:
    Arsany (coptic version on Arsanious)
    Antony (Coptic version of Antonious)
    Anthony is also a very nice name, maybe use the french version of it: Antoine

    Karas is also a very nice name (of a GREAT SAINT)
    Bishoy is very nice Coptic name too (of Another GREAT SAINT)
    Mena is also a very nice name...

    Actually, the nicest boys name I've ever heard is "Hiedra". I dont think it's Coptic, but I know there a few Copts in Egypt with that name. I think originally it's Spainish.

    perhaps you can see the saint of the day he is born on and if you like it, then name him after him/her.

    Sorry for late response, your nephew has probraly already been named. but i will still suggest a good name: 
    Mark. bibically, it means polite/shining. the roman  term however, means: "God of war".

    Mina/Mena is a nice Coptic name, but just in case anyone here does not know, outside of the Coptic world it is a female name, so it could cause some confusion or maybe even teasing of the boy depending on the familiarity of the people around you with Coptic culture.

    Hi @Jeremy,
    It happens a lot, even within the same language - some names are used for both genders, eg Charlie, Sam, Ashley, etc and as in your suggestion, Andrea is a feminine name in English and masculine in Italian. Serena is another name where the same applies.

    @Jeremy We were going to name our second son Mina/Mena, but we went with it for the middle name because Mina is feminine in Italian.
