Yup and it means something like:
Shield given by the gods.
A character I played in Baldurs Gate before I ever registered or even seen the forums of Gamebanshee, was named: Dark Aegis.
Just a bit of random info Id give in a thread devoted to Aegis.

Also, it's worth knowing Aegis is MY shield. So, when I'm under attack, I just block with Aegis to protect myself. Aegis might get battered and damaged, but that's what Aegis is for and nothing to worry about.

Aegis-fang is my warhammer. I like to use it throw at things, and to bonk people on the head with it. Sometime's it gets lost, but I usually find it.

correct me i I'm wrong but...
Aegis is pronounced 'A-jiss', not E-jiss'.
My first contact with this coolest of Greek words was the 'Aegis Suit' worn by Necromundans in Games Workshop...

I'm afraid Vinin is right. It's "E-jiss". I've checked Longman's dictionary.
Of course, it might be different in Oxford dictionary...

Good thing he's not a moderator on this forum or he'd make it a sticky.
