Isis is derived from Auset, meaning “woman (she) of the throne”. The hieroglyphics for Isis were a throne, semi circle, and woman. All of that translate to “woman of the throne”. Of course the throne symbol is what the goddess Isis wore on her head, the semi-circle indicates feminine, and of course the woman symbolizes a woman. Isis can also be derived from Iset, (Which also means seat) this implies this is a feminine seat, not just any seat, but a seat of power. I think Behind the Name should allow hieroglyphics.
Not only was Isis the wife of Osiris, she was also the sister.
Isis was the goddess of a lot things having to with women: childbirthing, motherhood, etc.
Isis is derived from 'aset' meaning 'throne' in ancient Egyptian. The goddess was named after the headdress she wore - the symbol for 'throne'.
