Meaning & Story
From ancient Egyptian, Osiris was the god of the dead, the afterlife, and resurrection — one of the most important deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He was associated with the Nile's flooding, agricultural fertility, and the cycle of death and rebirth.
Osiris is a name that carries five thousand years of Egyptian mythology with it — the great god of resurrection and the afterlife, the husband of Isis, the father of Horus, the first mummy. As a pet name it is particularly apt for a rescue animal, whose own story of renewal echoes the deity's mythology. It suits a commanding, striking male with an ancient, knowing quality about him. A cat named Osiris is fulfilling a destiny several millennia in the making.
