What Does the Name Ausar Mean?
Ausar is a modern spelling of the name of the ancient Egyptian god known in English as Osiris. In Egyptian writing the name is set down as wsjr, conventionally read Wesir or Usir. Egyptian script normally recorded consonants only, so the vowels of the original name cannot be recovered, and its meaning is disputed. One long-standing proposal links the name to the Egyptian word wsr, "powerful, mighty," which would give a sense such as "the mighty one." Other explanations treat the elements as "seat of the eye" or connect them with a word for "throne." None of these derivations is settled, so the safest statement is that the meaning is uncertain.
Ausar Name History & Origins
The name written wsjr is attested in the Pyramid Texts of the late Old Kingdom, where it belongs to the god of the dead and of renewed life. In later stages of the language it was pronounced something like Usire, and this form passed into Greek as Osiris, then into Latin and the modern European languages. Egyptologists supply a conventional reading, Usir or Wesir, precisely because the ancient vowels are unknown.
Ausar is one of several twentieth-century spellings meant to suggest the Egyptian pronunciation without the Greek intermediary. It is used in Afrocentric and Pan-African religious writing; in Rastafari usage the god is called Ausar and his sister-wife Aset (the figure known in Greek as Isis); and it is the spelling adopted by the Ausar Auset Society, a Pan-African religious organization. These uses present the spelling as a restored Egyptian form, but the vocalization behind it remains a reconstruction rather than a documented ancient pronunciation.
