Page "Nebuchadnezzar II" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
The Akkadian name, Nabû-kudurri-uṣur, means " O god Nabu, preserve / defend my firstborn son ".
Nabu is the Babylonian deity of wisdom, and son of the god Marduk.
In an inscription, Nebuchadnezzar styles himself as Nabu's " beloved " and " favourite ".
His name has previously been mistakenly interpreted as " O Nabu, defend my kudurru ", in which sense a kudurru is an inscribed stone deed of property.
However, when contained in a ruler's title, kudurru approximates to " firstborn son " or " oldest son ".
Variations of the Hebrew form include and ( Nəḇuḵaḏreṣṣar ).
He is also known as Bakhat Nasar, which means " winner of the fate ", or literally, " fate winner ".
