Inanna First Name Meaning

Inanna is a female name of Persian origin that means "Lady Of The Heavens." Inanna was the Sumerian goddess of love, war, and fertility, and she is associated with political power, divine law, sensuality, and procreation. She was the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the city of Uruk, and her most prominent symbols include the lion and the eight-pointed star. Inanna was widely venerated in the Sumerian pantheon and influenced deities in other cultures, such as the Ugaritic goddess Ashtart and the Phoenician goddess Astarte. Her worship continued to flourish until its gradual decline in the wake of Christianity. Inanna was the subject of numerous myths, including her famous descent into the underworld and return, as well as her taking over the domains of other deities. The name Inanna may derive from the Sumerian phrase "Lady of Heaven," and she was associated with the planet Venus, with her movements mirroring the movements of Venus across the sky.
