Nuri is a gender-neutral name of Hebrew origin, meaning "My Fire." It is also the name of a place in modern Sudan, known for its historical significance as a royal necropolis for the ancient city of Napata, the first capital of the Nubian Kingdom of Kush. The site is home to more than 20 ancient pyramids of Nubian kings and queens, dating back to as early as circa 670 BCE. The pyramids at Nuri, smaller in size compared to Egyptian ones, have been a subject of archaeological interest, with ongoing excavations and discoveries shedding light on the rich history and culture of the region. The name Nuri thus carries both a symbolic and historical significance, reflecting strength, power, and a deep connection to ancient civilizations.
