Beni Mazar is a rural town in Egypt, located in the Minya Governorate on the west bank of the Nile. The older name of the town was Shinwada, which comes from the Sahidic Coptic word meaning kailyard, a kitchen garden; the Bohairic Coptic form of the same word is also recorded. The name history therefore points back to the Coptic language of Egypt, and the town is included among the cities and towns of Egypt. Its position on the river's west bank is the main geographic fact the English Wikipedia article records for it.
