The egyptian goddess is quite a bit older than the name "Isis." The Egyptians called her "Aset" - "Isis" is a greek corruption of thename.

other names...

Osiris - Aser
Anubis - Anpu
Horus - Heru
Set - Sutekh
Thoth - Tehuti (in fact, "Thoth" is correctly pronounced "Tut' with aspiration on the consonants, rather than "Thoth&quot
