Isis (given name)
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.[1] Her strong character has subsequently been adopted as an axiom among feminists.
Since 2014, the name Isis has decreased significantly in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, due to the name being associated with the jihadist terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). There have been many name changes as well.
