  1. ISIS: Greek name of an Egyptian goddess of magic. The name literally means "(female) of throne," which is usually translated "Queen of the throne," but the Egyptian hieroglyph for her name means "(female) of flesh," in other words "mortal woman." Isis is a Greek corruption of her true name which is unknown because Egyptian hieroglyphs left out most of the vowels.
