Is there a connection between Anubis and the Nubians? The words for each are quite similar and both are derived from adjacent regions.

>The name Anubis, as used in Greek, originates from the ancient Egyptian name Anpu or Inpu. While the exact etymology is debated, it's strongly linked to the concept of "decay" or "royal child," reflecting his roles in mummification and the afterlife. Some scholars also connect it to the Coptic language or potential foreign origins.

>The term "Nubian" is generally thought to be derived from the ancient Egyptian word "nub," meaning gold, which was associated with the region due to its gold resources and mining activities. Some scholars also link it to the name "Noba," a group of people who settled in the area later.

It's funny black and gold are his colors, as you can see on the statue.

And Nubians are beyond a reason of a doubt black and their land has gold.
