Kajamānu or Kayyamanu (Akkadian: 𒅗𒀀𒀀𒈠𒉡 ka-a-a-ma-nu "the constant") or Uduimin-saĝuš (Sumerian: 𒀯𒇻𒅂𒊕𒍑 MULUDU.IMIN-saĝ-uš, "star of the sun") is the ancient Mesopotamian name for the planet Saturn. In ancient Mesopotamia, he was also regarded as the "star of Ninurta," the Mesopotamian fertility deity.[1][2][3]
In other cultures
Kiwan (Mandaic for Saturn) is derived from the Mesopotamian name.[4] Kayvan is the Persian equivalent name.
Kēwān (Classical Syriac: ܟܹܐܘܵܢ) also being a loan from Akkadian, is the name for Saturn in Syriac among later Assyrians.[5]
