Meaning & History

In Elamite religion, Hutran is the son of the god Humban (also known by his epithet Napirisha) and his wife, the goddess Kiririsha. It is uncertain what kind of god he was, but since his name might possibly mean "overwhelmer" in Elamite, it could be that he was a god of soldiers and fighters. One source characterizes him as a tutelary god. At least four Elamite kings were named in his honour (which is consistent with the fact that nearly all rulers of Elam bore theophoric names).
