Zababa
Zababa (also Zamama) was a Hittite war god drawn from the Akkadian tradition. After his adoption, the Hittites brought his worship to Anatolia. He is identified with the Akkadian god Ninurta. His Hurrian name was Astabis.
Zababa was the tutelory god of the city of Kish, whose sanctuary was the E-meteursag. Several ancient Mesopotamian kings were named in honor of Zababa, including Ur-Zababa of Kish (early patron of Sargon of Akkad) and Zababa-shumma-iddini (a 12th century BCE Kassite king of Babylon).
