Meaning & History

Means "lady whose body is the flecked barley", deriving from the Sumerian elements 𒊺 se ("barley, grain") and gùnu ("dappled, spotted, speckled"). This was an alternative name of the Sumerian deity Nisaba, the goddess of grain and writing, that was used specifically in relation to her capacity as an agricultural goddess.
