dNANNA (𒀭𒋀𒆠) is the most common, standard, Sumerian name for the Moon-god = Akkadian Sin. The name is also used as a loan-word in Akkadian, occasionally with a final consonant 'r' as with dNannaru in Enūma Eliš, V 12 where Marduk places the Moon-god in the sky and commands him to show the lunar phases each month.

Concordance, Etymology, History[1]

Var. readings:

  • dNANNAR,
  • and dŠEŠ.KI (to be read dNANNA);

Nanna is the most common Sumerian name for the Moon-god, both in astronomical/astrological and mythological contexts. as well as in his earthly manifestations, for example when present in temple-statuary. For Nannar resumed by R, note e.g. Enūma eliš, V 12: dNanna-ru (var. dNanna-ri), and see CAD NI 269-270 (nannaru A). For names of the Moon according to the phases of the month see GSL 281-286 (Koch-Westenholz 1995: 202-203).


Add GSL = Great Star List to abbreviations - should this be added to a Moon entry??


For the name in Old Babylonian and Middle Babylonian astrological and mythological texts, see e.g. Šileiko 1927[2], 126; Horowitz 2000[3], 204:17],
