The Nile gets its name from the Greek word "Nelios", meaning River Valley and the Greek historian, Herodotus, wrote that Egypt was the "gift of the Nile" - it thereby acquired that as a nickname. .
The only generally known nickname is when the Greek historian, Herodotus, wrote that Egypt was the "gift of the Nile".
This famous greek historian form the 5th century did much research about Egypt and other northern African countries. He called Egypt "The Gift of the Nile" because of the many things it gace to Egypt such aspapyruswildlifeflooding/waterthick black mud for farmingI hope that this helps!

The Nile River is found in Africa and flows south through north.It is the longest river in the world its 4,160 miles (6.670 km).Although the nile is associated with Egypt only 20% of the nile runs through that country.The Nile is formed by the joining of two rivers the White Nile and the Blue Nile (at Khartoum).
Zambezi means "great river" in local dialect. Before the division of Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, what is named Zambia today was called Northern Rhodesia. Zambia got its name from the river.
The gift[s] of the Nile River.The Greek historian, Herodotus, coined the phrase that 'Egypt was the gift of the Nile', in his 'An Account of Egypt: Being the Second Book of His Histories Called Euterpe'Herodotus of Halicarnassus was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC (c. 484 BC-c. 425 BC) and is regarded as the "Father of History" in Western culture.He is cited as writing - That of the Nile 'the river rises of itself, waters the fields, and then sinks back again - thereupon each man sows his field and waits for the harvest.' This was obviously referring to the annual flood.He also described Egypt as 'A land won by the Egyptians and given them by the Nile.'So Egypt was the Nile River's gift - because without the Nile there would be no Egypt only desert.So anything derived from the Nile would also be looked upon as a gift - the water, the floods fertile soil, the fish and the rivers obvious use for transport etc.The link below provides information and a number of short videos.
The answer to this question is that, Herodotus wasn't puzzled but he did not find the source of the Nile River, forced to turn back. Though he discovered a Basic Truth:" There would be no Egypt without the Nile" he said! By:Haseeb Mahmood
Herodotus is the father of history which formulated the scientific ways of writing history. He was considered as this because of his big contribution in history. Herodotus wrote an account of the Persian Wars. His account was one of the first factual accounts of a past event. Herodotus was also the first historian of the western world.
