Isis

Isis is an ancient Egyptian goddess, one of the most important deities in the pantheon. She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, patroness of nature and magic, and the goddess of fertility, motherhood, marriage, and healing. Her cult spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, becoming one of the most widespread and enduring of the ancient mystery religions. The name itself is the Greek form of the Egyptian name 'Aset' or 'Iset', meaning 'throne'.

In modern times, the name Isis gained some popularity in Western countries, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, due to its beautiful sound and strong mythological associations. However, its usage has dramatically declined since 2014 due to its unfortunate association with the acronym for a terrorist organization, leading many parents to avoid the name despite its ancient and positive origins.
