Isis was a major Egyptian goddess. It shouldn't be super surprising that things had that name before the Islamic State co-opted it.
Bob Dylan has a (great) song called "Isis"
one of my friends had a dog named Isis around that time. also the fictional spy agency from the tv show Archer was called ISIS, which was written out of the show at the start of the fifth season, earlier ones have them running around saying "we're ISIS agents" all the time. it was a totally normal thing until it suddenly wasn't
When I was younger I always called my multiplayer guilds and factions Eye of Isis / Isis Eye. I am afraid doing that now would me considered "political" :(
