[Facts] Egyptian/Arabic word for sorceress?
I'm writing a novel set in Ancient Egypt and my main character has magical powers. Orginally I was going to call her Rawiya ('storyteller') because I've liked that name for ages, but I was wondering if there was a word in either Egyptian or Arabic (even though that language didn't come to Egypt until 641 AD or thereabouts) that meant 'sorceress'. If anyone knows of one that would be a lot of help. Thanks in advance!
