" .... i read somewhere that it derives from the name Isis or Ishtar............ The author states in the first paragraph that there is no actual evidence to back up that claim. All I know is that the name is not Biblical in origin.

Ēosturmōnaþ (Old English 'Month of Ēostre', translated in Bede's time as "Paschal month")
older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover.
Would it be better if we all spoke Hebrew & Greek?

Because English and German are far fewer than the gospel narratives.
The correct liturgical term is Passover or Pascal
