Meaning & History

From Sumerian En-hedu-anna, derived from π’‚— (en) meaning "lady, high priestess" combined with π’ƒΆπ’ŒŒ (hedu) meaning "ornament" and the god's name An 2. This was the Sumerian title of a 23rd-century BC priestess and poet, identified as a daughter of Sargon of Akkad. Presumably she had an Akkadian birth name, but it is unrecorded. She is regarded as one of the earliest known poets.
