A few years ago my dad wanted me to read a book about a boat called Isis. I didn't read it, and my dad didn't believe me that it was a terrorist group. I never heard about the boat ever again, not even on these comments.

The Egyptian goddess Isis is called Iside in Italian.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Islamic State, and by its Arabic language acronym Daesh, is a Salafi jihadist unrecognised proto-state and militant group that follows a fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam. ISIL gained global prominence in early 2014 when it drove Iraqi government forces out of key cities in its Western Iraq offensive, followed by its capture of Mosul and the Sinjar massacre.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, AKA the Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant, AKA Daesh, will come to most people's mind. Not saying that I hate the name, I'm just pointing out the obvious.

Looks like the terrorist organization has trashed this name.
In the mid '70's there was a cool TV show called "Isis." It was about a young woman, Andrea Thomas (played by JoAnna Cameron), who found an ancient, Egyptian amulet that could turn her into Isis. As the goddess, she fought evil and helped those in trouble. DC Comics bought the rights to the character and included her in some of their story lines.
