Here is my little nephew Osiris with Katy.
When people ask me his name, I always have to repeat it. Here is what this poor little guy's name means....
Osiris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osiris (Greek language, also Usiris; the Egyptian language name is variously transliterated Asar, Aser, Ausar, Wesir, or Ausare) is the Egyptian god of life, death, and fertility. He is also called the All-father. Osiris was not only the merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile River. Beginning about 2000 B.C. all men, not just dead pharaohs, were believed to be associated with Osiris at death.
In the ancient Egyptian religion, Osiris is the resurrection figure. He is the oldest son of the Earth god, Geb, and the sky goddess, Nut. He is usually depicted as a green-skinned pharaoh wearing the Atef crown, a form of the white crown of upper Egypt with a plume of feathers to either side. Typically he is also depicted holding the crook and flail which signify divine authority in Egyptian kings, but which were originally unique to Osiris and his own origin-gods (see below), and his feet and lower body are wrapped, as though already partly mummified.
