Meaning & History
Means "lady of battle", deriving from the Sumerian elements nin ("queen, mistress, lady") and me (an archaic word for "battle"). This is attested as an epithet of Inanna, in her capacity as a war goddess. It is also suggested by some scholars that a form of this name may have been used to refer to Annunitum.
