Egypt's company register lists 216,438 officer rows, 1,297 with a stated nationality (self-stamp rate 0.71; above 0.98 the field is ignored as it only repeats the register's own country).

Some company details from this register are incomplete in the current build; the people counts are not affected.

Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".

Names from Egypt in other registers (estimate)

How many company officers abroad carry names that a name-origin model places in Egypt. This includes people whose families left generations ago, which the documented counts above cannot see. These are expected counts, not people, and no individual is labelled by them.
