Etymology[]
"Bastete" may be a variant of "Bastet," an Egyptian name derived from the Egyptian word "bȝstt" (meaning "she of the ointment jar"). Bastet was a fertility goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology often depicted as a lioness, potentially highlighting Bastete's protective traits toward her students.
