Meaning & History

Means "Lord of Girsu (a city in Ancient Sumer)", deriving from the Sumerian element nin ("lord"). Another name for the Sumerian god of war Ninurta, who was possibly worshipped under this name in the city of Girsu itself. However, as the influence of Girsu waned, the name Ninurta became more popular.
