Auset is Egyptian in Origin.

Auset is a modern English rendering of the ancient Egyptian name Aset (also Iset or Ast), the native name of the goddess later known in Greek as Isis. Written with the throne hieroglyph, it means “throne” or “she of the throne,” evoking sovereignty and maternal protection. In myth, Aset embodies magic, healing, and queenship, qualities that color the name’s modern associations.

Used in pharaonic Egypt for royal and common women - note Queen Iset, mother of Thutmose III, and the royal name Isetnofret - the name and its cult spread widely in the Hellenistic and Roman world under the form Isis. Auset re-emerged in the late 20th century through Pan-African, Afrocentric, and Kemetic spiritual movements, offering an alternative to Isis in English. Variants and cognates include Aset, Iset, Ast, and Isis; related meanings emphasize protection, fertility, and regal authority.
