Ashmoun is a city in the south of Monufia Governorate, in Egypt. Its Arabic name is taken from the Coptic name Chmoumi, whose origin is unclear but which may be related to a Coptic word meaning spring or source. The city was also known as Ashmoun Gerisat, an Arabic rendering of the Coptic phrase Chmoumi of Ptihot, in which Ptihot is the name of a nearby town, today called Gerays. The place is listed among the cities and towns of Egypt, and the record of its name shows how Coptic place names survive in the Arabic usage of the Nile region.
