What Does the Name Auset Mean?
Auset is a modern English transliteration of the ancient Egyptian name ꜣst, also rendered Aset or Iset. The name is commonly connected with the Egyptian word st, "throne" or "seat," and is often translated as "throne" or "she of the throne." The exact derivation is not fully settled; the throne explanation is a widely repeated interpretation rather than a certainty. The Greek name Ἶσις (Isis) is a later form of the same Egyptian name, not the source of Auset.
Auset Name History & Origins
The Egyptian name ꜣst occurs in the Pyramid Texts, the Old Kingdom funerary corpus, where Isis appears among the goddesses protecting the dead king. In Egyptian myth she became the sister and wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. The name continued in Coptic as Ⲏⲥⲉ (Ēse), while Greek speakers rendered it as Ἶσις (Isis), the form that passed into Latin and the modern European languages. Her temple at Philae remained active into the Roman period.
Auset belongs to the modern English reception of the Egyptian name rather than to the Greco-Roman Isis tradition. Egyptologists normally write Aset or Iset; Auset is one of several English spellings used for the goddess and is also used as a given name in modern English. Because Egyptian writing did not record vowels, the ancient pronunciation is reconstructed, and the vowels in these spellings are conventional rather than directly attested.
