Sargon

I have a thing for ancient kings' names, and this one even *sounds* powerful. Sargon was an early king of Akkad, father of the priestess Enheduanna.

Sargon comes from Šarru-kin, an Akkadian phrase meaning "true king." Sargon may have been the title of the first king of this name, who ruled Mesopotamia from 2334 BC to 2279 BC.
