Isis (given name)

For other uses, see Isis (disambiguation).

Isis is a female first name.

Meaning

The initial popularity of the name derived from its association with the goddess Isis of the Egyptian pantheon. Her strong character has subsequently been adopted as an axiom among feminists.

However, from 2014, the name Isis has decreased in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand due to the name sometimes being affiliated with the Islamic terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Since then, there have been name changes made by women with the name.
