Irais

The name Irais is of Coptic origin, directly referencing the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis. Isis was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion, worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers. Her cult spread throughout the Roman Empire, and she was revered for her healing powers and her role in resurrection.

The Coptic language is the latest stage of the Egyptian language, and it was used by Coptic Christians in Egypt. The name Irais, therefore, carries a strong historical and religious resonance within the Coptic Christian community, connecting the bearer to a powerful and benevolent ancient deity.
