Anammelech (Hebrew: עֲנַמֶּלֶךְʿAnammelekh), according to the Hebrew Bible,[1] was a Syrian and Mesopotamian goddess worshipped alongside Adrammelech. She is a lunar deity and is said to have been worshipped at Sepharvaim, an Assyrian town. She is possibly the daughter of Anu as her name means "Anu is king."
