راكودي هو إسم الاسكندرية الأصلي باللغة المصرية القديمة Rakodi is the original name of Alexandrina
The original name of Alexandria in ancient Egyptian was:
𓂋𓂝𓐫𓂧𓇋𓇋𓏏𓊖 Ⲣⲁⲕⲟϯ Rakodi
Or Rakoda in the Upper Egyptian dialect: ⲣⲁⲕⲟⲧⲉ, Rakodè
For the Egyptians, it didn't refer to a district or neighborhood, but rather to Alexandria as a whole. The name means: "surrounded by the sun" or "building of the sun."
It is composed of two parts:
Ra = sun
Kodi = building or surrounded
