Give baby big shoes to fill with this mighty name. Isis, the Greek form of the Egyptian root ꜣst, commands attention, as it's the name of the most powerful ancient Egyptian goddess and means “throne.” As well as being the goddess of the moon, sky, magic, motherhood, and fertility, Isis was also the sister to Osiris—the god of agriculture, death, and resurrection—and mother of Horus, the god of kingship and the sky, making her family as impressive as she is. The Nile flooding every year is said to be because of Isis's tears and sorrow over the death of her brother. In the vein of Gaia, Hera, or Venus, baby Isis is sure to make an impression wherever they go. It's perfect if you want to help encourage your little powerhouse to be their own person.
