Ashmoun

Ashmoun (Arabic: أشمون) is a city in the south of Monufia Governorate, Egypt.

The city's Arabic name comes from Coptic Chmoumi (Coptic: ϭⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ), of unclear etymology, that could be possibly related to a Coptic word for "spring, source" (Coptic: ⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ). It was also known as Ashmoun Gerisat (Arabic: اشمون جريسات), a calque of Coptic: ϭⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡϯϩⲟⲧ, lit.'Chmoumi of Ptihot', where Ptihot is a name of a nearby town, modern Gerays (Arabic: جريس).
