Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Wednesday, January 25, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: Their name comes from the Greek word for “Egyptian”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Hugh Dinteman, an architect from Atlanta, Georgia
Stephanie Cornelison, a graduate student in library science from Asheboro, North Carolina
Loren Lee Chen, a basketball podcaster from West Newton, Massachusetts (1-day total: $19,899)

The Greek “Aigýptios” (the Greek term for the Egyptian indigenous peoples) turned into the Sahidic “kuptaion”, which, in turn became the Arabic “qubt”, the New Latin “Coptus” and English “Copt”.
Coptic Christianity forms between 10-20% of the population of Egypt and are the largest Christian denomination of that country (as well as neighbouring Syria and Libya). It is said to date back to Saint Mark’s introduction of Christianity in Alexandria.
