This was the name of an obscure god in Elamite religion. It is uncertain what the meaning of his name was in the Elamite language. Tirutir was a local god (1): he was worshipped only in the Elamite city Ayapir (2) (also spelled Aiapir; it was later called Malamir, and nowadays it is known as Izeh in Iran (3)). However, it should be noted that there are some sources that state that he was from Shilhite (4). Tirutir was labeled a bahir sunkipri "protector of kings" (5), meaning that he was often invoked for giving protection to a king and his family. Nothing else is known about Tirutir, unfortunately.
