Kafr El Sheikh was earlier known as Duminqun, but was officially named Fuadiyah or Fouadiyah in honour of King Fuad I of Egypt. After the 1952 coup d'état and the subsequent abolition of the monarchy, the governorate took the name of its capital city Kafr El Sheikh. This name, adopted in 1955, means "the village of the chief". In 2006 the University of Kafr El Sheikh was established.
