About Amasis

Amasis II was the last ruler of Egypt before it was conquered by the Persians. His name is a variant of Ahmose — which he is also referred to by — a name meaning "son of Iah" referring to the minor Ancient Egyptian moon god, Iah. Today, Amasis would make a very usable rare name for a baby boy.

Pronounced uh-MAY-sis.
