Although "Khemet" (more commonly spelled as "Kemet") is often cited as the original name of ancient Egypt, this is only partially accurate.

Kemet (km.t) was indeed what the ancient Egyptians called their land, and it means "Black Land," referring to the fertile soil deposited by the annual Nile floods. However, this wasn't the only name they used for their country. They also used terms like "Tawy" (The Two Lands, referring to Upper and Lower Egypt) and other designations depending on context.

The name "Egypt" comes from the Greek "Aigyptos," which was derived from the ancient Egyptian name for the city of Memphis, "Hikuptah" (meaning "Temple of the Soul of Ptah"), which was corrupted over time through various languages.

So while Kemet was an important indigenous name for ancient Egypt, it's more accurate to say it was one of several names used by the ancient Egyptians themselves, rather than the definitive "original name."
