pretty much everyone thinks my name means "so this".
on the contrary, its another name for isis.
ive always been really into egyptian mythology, especially the isis/osiris myth. for a year or two after bbs'es i used the name isis on the web, then realized that a LOT of people use that name. so i did a bit of researching. the egyptians used to associate each deity with a constellation or star. isis was associated with the dog star sirius (called "sothis" by the egyptians). her name became interchangable with this over time.
theres also a greek goddess called sothis too, i guess.. but i dont know much about that.
so yea. i use it for that meaning, NOT "so this" |
I always thought it was "so this"
Mine's not interesting at all, it's my name
