faker-egy-names

Faker provider for Egyptian names. It does not sample names itself — every call goes to egy-names 0.3.2 generate().

This is a companion package. egy-names stays offline, zero-dependency, and unchanged. PHP engine: afify/egy-names. PHP Faker: afify/faker-egy-names. Product page: afify.co/egy-names. Story: The Secret Code of Egyptian Names.

Install

pip install faker-egy-names

Use

from faker import Faker
from faker_egy_names import Provider

fake = Faker()
fake.add_provider(Provider)

# Coherent 6-slot chain (use this for one person)
name = fake.egyptian_name(gender="female", religion="muslim")
print(name.ar)   # يارا عادل فاروق الشناوي
print(name.en)   # Yara Adel Farouk Elshenawy
print(name.parts_ar)

# Slot helpers — each call generates a new chain
fake.egyptian_full_name()                    # English full name
fake.egyptian_full_name("ar")                # Arabic full name
fake.egyptian_full_name(lang="both")         # (ar, en)
fake.egyptian_person(gender="male")
fake.egyptian_father()
fake.egyptian_grandfather()
fake.egyptian_family()

Or:

from faker_egy_names import egyptian_faker

fake = egyptian_faker()
fake.egyptian_full_name(religion="christian", length=4, seed=1)

Faker.seed_instance(n) is honored unless you pass seed= yourself.

Methods

Shared keyword arguments (passed through to egy-names.generate()):

gender, religion, length, family_name, frequency, seed

lang is "en", "ar", or "both". There is no first_name / last_name mapping — that flattening is what this library exists to avoid.

Slot helpers on separate calls are not the same person. For one fixture, call egyptian_name() once and read parts_ar / parts_en.
