4. ISIS

For obvious reasons, Isis was one of the most searched for terms on Google. The terrorist group that’s taken the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is often shortened to ISIS since another version of the title includes Syria as well. While the group may go under different names, ISIS seems to be one that’s stuck most, ruining a perfectly good Egyptian goddess name in the process.

The organization has become more known over the past year, which is most unfortunate. The jihadist militant group has claimed several attacks in 2015, including in Istanbul, Paris, Libya, Tunisia and more. In retaliation, more and more forces are putting their militaries together to put an end to the organization, bombing various locations across Syria and Iraq.
