Ancient Egyptian culture draws a lot of attention. It attracts the curiosity of billions of people, and it is not for less: it was the most enduring civilization that has ever existed. But it is that if you are also a cat-addict you will fall in love with the images that decorate the walls of the temples, and with good reason: this animal was sacred to them.
For this reason, if you have just adopted a furry and want to give him a unique name, then we offer you one selection of Egyptian names for cats.
Names for cats
If you have started living with a cat, you can give her any of these Egyptian names:

- Bastet: She was the guardian goddess of the home and protected the deceased as well as cats.
- Isis: she was the goddess of motherhood, of magic the fidelity of a couple and the queen of the gods.
- Groove: she was the goddess of the sky, creator of the universe and the stars.
