Q: Why Bible identifies Mitsrayim with Egypt when Egyptians themselves have no records of this name till the Exodus?

Bharat JhunjhunwalaAbraham went to Mitsrayim c. 2000 BCE. At that time the Egyptians knew themselves as Kemet, not Misr. The earliest reference to the name Misr to my knowledge is from the Amarna Letters (?) c. 1350 BCE. This is after the Hebrews reached Israel. How do we explain this?
