About Anubis
Anubis is a unisex name, its roots tracing back to Egyptian Mythology (Latinized) and Egyptian culture. Its meaning is rooted in the word "royal child, prince" stemming from its Greek form Ἄνουβις (Anoubis). The ancient Egyptians used a different word for "royal child, prince," which might be an alternative explanation for Anubis's name. This god of the underworld had the head of a jackal and was often depicted leading the dead to their eternal resting place. In fact, his name is most closely tied to Egyptian mythology and the underworld and is closely associated with mummification; he was the god who oversaw that process.
