Hatmehit
In Egyptian mythology, Hatmehit, or Hatmehyt (reconstructed to have been pronounced * in Egyptian) was a fish-goddess, originally a deification of the Nile, by the people in the area around Mendes. Her name translates as House of Mehit, implying she may have some connection to Hathor, who also went by the name Mehit, meaning great flood.
