Anubis is the name of the Egyptian God of Embalming and Death
Abydos is a holy place for the gods

On another note Anubis is also the Badass returned half ascended Ghoul'd from the Tv series Stargate SG-1

and Abydos was the place that the Earth Stargate program called the SGC or Stargate Command first connected to.
Both meanings are very cool... Take your Pick
