Current thinking is that the Hyksos were from the northern Agean,I'm really, really not aware of any such thinking. It has been claimed (for years, really) that at least some of the Sea Peoples (who are much later in Egyptian history) came from the Greek islands, the mainland, and from Anatolia. That's not my view, but it is very common. I've never heard any such origin offered for the Hyksos.

I made posted my remark before linking to the article and reading it, but the author evidently agrees with me:
"..."...These names only appear registered in the oldest dialects of the Greek, which does not seem no chance. If my hypothesis arrives to be accepted by the experts in Greek philology and Indo-European, in the names of kings Hyksos de Manetho we would have a testimony of the older Indo-European forms known these names that later superlived in the Doric's and Aeolian Greek dialects. Dialects that are considered already existed at the same time of the Dynasties of the Hyksos... I probably think that the Hyksos could be proto-Greek Indo-European towns, of Minoico-Mycenean origin, and this would explain the considerable amount of found evidences of this civilization in Avaris...
