<p><b>The Isis</b> is the name given to the part of the <a href="/pages/w/107685822587432">River Thames</a> above <a href="/pages/w/126503350725948">Iffley Lock</a> which flows through the university city of <a href="/pages/w/106172386080335">Oxford</a>, <a href="/pages/w/105955176103450">England</a>, past <a href="/pages/w/135001933200905">Christ Church Meadow</a> and the focal point of rowing for <a href="/pages/w/112166572135062">Oxford University</a>.</p><h2>History</h2><p>Historically, and especially in <a href="/pages/w/107817815904910">Victorian</a> times, <a href="/pages/w/110854175609047">gazetteers</a> and <a href="/pages/w/110954355592424">cartographers</a> insisted that the river Thames was correctly named the River Isis from its source until <a href="/pages/w/114379291907835">Dorchester-on-Thames</a>, where the river meets the <a href="/pages/w/112014525481820">River Thame</a> and becomes the "Thame-isis" (from which the Latin, or pre-Roman Celtic, name <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikt%3AT%C3%A1mesis" class="wikipedia">Tamesis</a></i> is derived), subsequently abbreviated to Thames; current <a href="/pages/w/112431925438838">Ordnance Survey</a> maps still label the Thames as <i>"River Thames or Isis"</i> until <a href="/pages/w/114379291907835">Dorchester</a>. Since the early 20th century this distinction has been lost in common usage even in Oxford, and some historians suggest the name Isis is nothing more than part of Tamesis, the Latin name for the Thames.</p>
