01 / Meaning & origin
šurānum is a masculine given name documented in Akkadian. English Wiktionary records an etymology for it.
Unknown. First attested in the early 18th century BCE. Huehnergard (2008) considers the possibility that it derives from a root *sur- (with "the common Semitic nominal ending -ān"), which might be connected to هِرّ (hirr), since a change of Proto-Semitic *s to West Semitic *h is known to have occurred in a very small number of words.
