A name that means "throne; egyptian mother goddess".

Isis (𓊨𓏏𓆇) is the ancient Egyptian goddess of motherhood, magic, healing, and rebirth — wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.

Isis as a name is rare in modern Western naming due to associations with the militant group. Used historically and still used in religious-revival communities.

Where Isis stands.

Isis does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
