Usage notes
editAs a female given name, its popularity peaked in 2005 in the US and 2010 in the Netherlands. Due to its association with Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (commonly abbreviated as ISIS), the name quickly fell out of favor and is now rarely used. [1]
In some depictions of the Egyptian goddess, she is sometimes renamed as Eset.
