Well one such name precedes Horus as a variant name, Isis, although the mythological meaning is not of primary significance to the game. I can imagine Apep meaning 'All Pincers Except Pawns', that is, Pawns are the FIDE variety but 1st-rank pieces and promotees capture by surrounding. Aten could be a 10x10 variant, and Thoth a Very Big Board variant featuring my Ibis, a symmetric 8:1 leaper.
