Per Google AI:
Cairo was founded in 969 AD by the Fatimid Caliphate. The Fatimids established the city, naming it Al-Qahirah (meaning "the Victorious").
Qahirah is ALSO phonetically close to Cairo. So qahirah is likely an Arabization (sort of like Anglicization) of Chi (qahi) Rho(rah)
This timeline makes sense to me. The Greek influence would have had ample time to penetrate Egypt by then.
