Osiris

The meaning of Osiris is ‘God of Life’ or ‘mighty eye’. It is a name typically given to boys and is of Greek origin. The name comes from the Old Greek name, Osiris. It is the alias of the Egyptian god Osiris who is regarded as the god of life, fertility, agriculture, and death. The name is derived from the words 'wsr', which means 'mighty,' and 'jrt,' which means 'eye.' Osiris is depicted in ancient Egyptian art as having green skin, a pharaoh's beard, an Atef crown and holding a crook and a flail. He was thought to have ruled both the underworld and the land that he blessed with life. According to a myth, Osiris was slain by his brother Seth who chopped his body into several pieces and hid them before ascending the throne. Isis, Osiris' wife, attempts to recover his body, and as a result, Isis is able to conceive their son Horus using her husband's remains. Osiris lives on as a god of the underworld. In today's world, 'Osiris' is best recognized as the name of a PlayStation 4 survival video game.
