cognate deity names

(I didn't know whether to put this under mythology or comparative studies, I guess it is more in this sub-forum area.)

My thesis is that the names of gods all around the world are/can be related. Everyone I have mentioned this to has attacked me, and said it is not true and can't be done. Although I have a long way still to go, I have neverthless made many amazing discoveries despite everyones adamant insistence/assertations.

This thread/topic is intended to be both (A.) for me to submit/share my discoveries and/or possible "discoveries" to you, and/but also (B.) for you to post your own theories/thoughts/feelings/ideas/info/data/criticism/etc (whether your own, or ones you have read/heared from other peoples books/etc).

Though I would prefer this thread/topic to be mainly about possible name (cognate) correspondences, some digression into/on synonymous natures or common/similar themes would also be interesting as long as it doesn't push out the intended original purpose/focus of connecting names.

(Please note that each future post/entry of my own will take time for me to get around to doing, sometimes long time, sometimes short. And remember some will be definately correct, and/but some will/may be wrong as this is a new pioneeering trial and error field, and I am not fully informed/educated/conversant with the full scope of extant knowledge in the currently reached level of orthodox linguistics/philology.)

Name connections can turn out to provide a lot of new light on hitherto not well-understood mythological details, eg see Sedna in coming post.
Many other implications in various fields arise, such as for example proof of contacts between Americas and Old World across Atlantic.

Coming planned posts of my own will probably be the ones on Sin, Enlil, and Ea.

Here is a starter on a particular culture/people/pantheon rather than on a particular deity's worldwide cognates:

Tupi-Guarani deities:

Guaracy 'sun'......................~ Semitic............Heres/Keret 'sun/gold' (C Berlitz.)
Jacy 'moon'........................ ~ Hamitic............Yah 'moon'/Ea.
Ir-in Mage 'magic/deluge/rain' ~ Sumer-Akkadia..En-lil 'wind'.
Toru-shompek 'sun'...............~ Akkadian..........Shamash 'sun'.
Peruda 'generation'............... ~ Indo-Europea...Freyr/Peruwa.

 

#1. Sin worldwide cognates (few poss wrong):

Sin/Sinne (Akkadian) 'moon'.
Sina/Hina/Ina (Polynesian) 'moon' (RA Lochore, E Sykes).
Si (Chimu Indian) 'moon' (Z Sitchin, Fitzgerald-Lee).
Singala (Arab).
Chia (Muyscaya Indian) 'moon' [otherwise could be Hea/Ea?]
Ya'china'ut (Koryak) 'moon'.
Sedna (Eskimo) 'sea, one-eyed' [moon ~ sea via tides, tidal-bulge, cresent/boat, lake/mirror. For possible -d- infix compare eg Raudna/Rauni?] (Larouse seemingly possibly hints that this correspondence is poss already secretly known?)
Zin (Songhay) 'water', though Zin is thought to be from Arab Djin.
Tin(ia) (Etruscan) 'sky, fire, lightning, birth' [birth waters].
Cinteotl (Aztec) 'night, 4' [though prob not related, being more likely = Ki as maize deity].
?Sia (Egyptian) 'perception, hand, papyrus, intellect, travels, barque' [eye/moon, moon connect with wisdom via calendar/measure/maths, night travellers]?

A few other less likely/unfinished possibilities left out.
Sin & cognates may possibly be cognate with Selene & cognates with l/n interchange as in Hebrew and Celt (etc)?, but I will give Selene as a separate (cross-referenced) future entry. If Sin and Selene are same then that would possibly give 2 branches of diffusion!

 

My apologies to anyone who may have already seen some of my deity name connections on my older threads on Skadi forum and Simaqianstudio history forum.

# 2. Enlil world wide cognates (some may be wrong):

El-lil/En-lil/Ill-in-us/Nin-lil/Mul-lil (Sumer-Akkad) 'mtn, storm, wild ox, wind, air, axe' [alt/also read/rendered In-Sakh].
An-ila (India) 'wind' [Greek word anima].
Fei Li-en (Chinese) 'wind, direction'.
Ton-en-ili (Navaho) 'rain, celestial, skies, 4 card pts, storm clouds, blue, fox, rainbows' [and see Donar/Danu].
Lilu (Berber) 'rainwater'.
El-lel (Hittite/Hurrian) [cp Alalus?]
Olila (Ghana) 'Buadza, storm, wind'.
Ir-in Mage (Tupi-Guarani) 'magic, rain, deluge'.
Lil-uri (Syria) 'mtn, weather, bull' [or prob more likely is Ilwer/Wer/Mer].
Ilmatar 'air, heroine' or Ilmar-inen/Inmar 'hero, hill, smith, young, sky, weather, stars, travellers' (Finn/Votyak) [Ilmarinen alt/also resembles Ilwer/Wer/Mer?]
Iris (Greek) 'rainbow, wings' [tho cp Egyptian word i-r 'eye'?]
I'lena (Koryak) 'rain, spirit'.
Hi'lina (Haida) 'thunder, wings, ltning, clouds, cloak'.
Painal (Aztec) 'hasty, war' [or see Paean/Pavana].
Ir-min (German) 'war, hero, grove'.
Igalilik (Eskimo) 'hunting, spirit, travels, icy wastes' [tho Igaluk (igloo?) more resembles Ea, Glaucus or Galatea?]
Ilat (East Africa) 'rain'.
Hila (Eskimo) 'air' [tho primary spelling Sila(p inua) would seem to disproove this].
Ilyapa (Peru) 'weather, thunder, firearms'.
Ilya (Slav) 'prophet, merged with Perun' [said to be Elijah or Helios].
Iraj (Iran) [tho see Ares].

 

Alvis Rofhessa:

Just to let you know that there's at least one soul out here that appreciates your hard work on this. I have always held that if we go far enough back into the past through the analysis of linkages among languages, religious ritual, and genetic heritage we'll eventually find significant common ground and crossovers we could never have imagined. But then there are some who do not seek any knowledge of any of that. What a shame.... thank you.

flow....

 

Thank-you flow(person), makes a change from all the negative/de-constructive criticism I've had in last 12 months! Tho I would like to also actually have people discuss possibile correspondences too.

(Yes I believe/have evidence that all religions d/evolved from one common original, but since myth and bible are about a dualistic conflict between 2 lines thruout whole of history/time (eg Horus vs Set), that means that the religion/[politics] of the future will not quite reconcile all of humanity/world, there will be 2 sides (In and Out), and it looks like the (western) world religion is going to be at odds with Judaeo-Xtianity.)

Note about entry on Sin:
It is said that Sin/shin/Sinne is from Su-en which is said to equate with En-zu (tho Zi-ana may be more/less likely possibility?) I was of the opinion that Sin and Enzu were to be treated as separate entries, but since I treated En-lil and its reverse Ill-in-us as interchangeable perhaps Sin and Enzu are a little more likely to also be closely related?

All I have on Enzu so far is:
Sumer-Akkad Enzu ~ Egyptian Kh-ensu, and perhaps Indian Indu??? (tho said to be short for Sindhu).

 

Kindest Regards, Alvis Rofhessa, and welcome to CR!

I am sorry to hear of the troubles you are having in your scholarly quest, but this subject is not universally frowned upon. I would like to recommend a couple of books that may be of great assistance in your search. One from the states dated to 1865 from a pamphlet written in 1859 by Rev. Alexander Hislop is titled "The Two Babylons." A second British book by Sir (?) Frazer (possibly Frazier) titled "The Golden Bough" from around 1880 is another very good scholarly resource that extensively covers the ground you are looking over. Both have different agendas and draw different conclusions, but both are extensively researched. A more modern scholar that may appeal to you on this issue is Joseph Campbell, he has written a number of books I would like to read one day myself.

There is a long time contributor here, "No God No Masters", who has posted quite a few posts that cover some of these things. If you know how to look up a person by their "name" here, and then look under the posts they have written, it should make your search a lot easier.

Best of wishes, and good luck in your search!

 

Thanks Juantoo3.

re "not universally frowned upon": sure there are a certain amount of writers/scholars who have written on comparative mythology, but when it comes to my thesis of world-wide deity names (conate) correspondences the extant literature is pretty small/limited, even just Indo-European as a whole is not very much.

I have Hislop's 2 Babylons. Although it has some good/useful info in it, it is not really that extensive in terms of world wide deity names corrsepondences, and he wrongly translates names using Hebrew words. Although the theory that Hebrew was the original world language may poss be true, it is not so straight forward interpreting names straight from Hebrew/Chaldee words. Tho ultimately the names of gods do correspond to biblical persons eg Rimmon/Ramman/Rimac (rain) = Lamech (lament)?(Winckie Pratney, RA Anderson, and JT Chick have good summaries tho I no longer have Chick's publications.)

I have the abridged version of Frazer's Golden Bough, but again while it has some useful thematic/nature/attribute correspondences it doesn't have many name correspondences excepting "Janus/Dianus"/etc & "Jana/Diana/Juno"/etc.

There is a writer John (or Derek) Jewell who put out some publications that have some good correspondences esp on Tiwaz/Zeus.

LA Waddell's British Edda and Makers of Civilisation have quite a few unique correspondences of Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Indian, biblical, Celt and Egyptian deities, tho some are wrong, and still far short of any universal scheme.

Frazer, Jewell and Waddell all have different Tiwaz/Zeus derivations/correspondences!

A good reference book is Gerald Massey, A Book of Beginnings, tho I only have one volume.

Georges Dumezil and Bruce Lincoln have some good name and nature correspondences but he doesn't have much more than within restrictive confines of conventional IE linguistics, some of which are wrong.

Joseph Campbell from what I remember has some good/useful nature/theme correspondences but not name ones?, but unfortunately I/local library don't have his Oriental &/or Occidental Mythology.

An author I *really* liked was GW Cox, Mythology of the Aryan Nations, which really did have a lot of Indo-European cognates, but unfortunately I don't have copy of book, & my notes were destroyed, and library (not local one) got rid of all their old books or put them in stack.

Grimm (& Bulfinch, & Max Muller?) have quite a few Germanic/I-E connections but unfortunately I don't have their books (and what notes I had were destroyed in crisis 2 yrs ago.)

An author I would *really* like to get is Idries Shah.

Another author I'd *really* like to get is Cohane's The Key.

Barbara Walker's Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets is a very good reference/source, but a bit chaotic/limited/unreliable.

# 3. Yamm world-wide cognates (couple poss wrong):

Yam/Yamm (Egypt/Syria/Babylon) 'ocean/sea'.
Ymi-r (Norse) 'frost, deluge, ship, sailing'.
Yima (Iran) 'flood'.
Yam (Arab) 'Noah's son'.
Amm (s Arab) 'moon, weather, lightning'.
Immap Ukua (Eskimo) 'sea'.
Dais-Imid (N Amerind) 'shell' [cp Maya imix "water"].
Yamuna (India) 'river, blue'.
Yemaja (Yoruba) 'water, lake, river' [tho as Yemanja see Mani?]
Inkanyamba (Zulu) 'storms, water, tornado'.
Nammu (Sumer-Akkad) 'watery, birth, riverbed, clay'.
Im (Mesopotamia) 'storm' [storms at sea, deluge = storm, rain/storm].
?Tiamat?
Almo (Italic) 'river'.
Iamos (Greek) 'Poseidon his grandfather, purple, river, sea'.
Amphi-trite (Greek) 'sea, ....'
Palaemon (Greek) 'sea'.
Asherat-ian (Ugarit) 'sea'.
Amimitl (Aztec) 'lakes, fish hunters'.

 

Kindest Regards, Alvis!

I seriously question whether we are discussing the same book. It is apparent you are more familiar with the topic at hand than I, however, Hislop was (is) my indoctrination into this subject, and his work *extensively* corresponds *world wide* deity names. Further, his translation of hebrew words is relatively small in comparison with the total content of his book. Whether there are more authoratative authors on the subject I admit to not knowing, but Hislop, considering the day and age in which he wrote, is quite extensive.

I seriously do not recall Hislop making this direct statement of Hebrew being the basis of language. I do know this is a common presumption among some, be that as it may, a group of us here made a quest of our own to research that very issue some time back in a thread about the origin of languages. While Hebrew may not be the source of all others, all others can be shown to come from a sanskrit source, with a handfull of exceptions. Notably the Oriental languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc) and one or two obscure languages from the hinterlands of Europe. This from reputable scholarly sources dealing in the study of linguistics.

Ah, but therein lies some of the correspondences you are seeking: the linguistics are tied to the function. I.E., the god of the hunt in one culture often *translates* or *transliterates* into the god of the hunt in another culture.

For example, I recently learned the Chinese have a "father Christmas" type figure, who they call Sinda Lau Yin. I cannot help but be amazed at the similarity with Santa Claus. And as we have already discovered here in a thread titled "santa theory," santa claus goes back as much as 60 thousand years, recognized by the ancient Ainu and Laplanders as the Wild Man.

Cool. Hislop covers Zeus and correspondences well.

Cool, something to look forward to.

Such is the nature of scholarship.

Another to look for.

Again, scholarship.

I can accept this. In mentioning Campbell I was remiss in not sticking directly to "words." I was drawing *complete* connections, of which words / names are but a token. As I mentioned already, function figures into these correspondences as well. Campbell's focus is on function.

Sounds like some interesting reads, of course one could make this a study of a lifetime. Not to disregard such in any way, I have other skillets in the fire, and this subject (while important) is not the "be all and end all" to me. In short, this subject is but a minor fraction of my anthropological studies. I wish you well in your search, keep us posted!

 

well it has been a while since my last entry/post but I very miserable/lazy/busy/distracted/unmotivated/uninspired lately and can't say if/when I will be able to post next/further entry/ies. So in meantime I give you links to previous posts of some entries on other forums,
indo-european cogantes only:
http://forum.skadi.net/cognate_gods_names_ind_eur-t62656.html
and
world but older/less certain:
Philology of God Names - History Forum

I have many where only a few/couple that I could perhaps post like:
Indian Kama 'love/desire' ~ Greek Comus 'sensual pleasure' (comedy?)

Are there any (other) deity names any of you would like to know my info/data/ideas on?
Do any of you have any connections (of your own or from other sources) you'd like to share?

 

found motivation to do a whole lot of (unexhaustive) entries at once. As I have/want put them on my web page there is no point posting them on web/net twice so here is where you can see them:
Life & Tradition |
I would very much like any pro/con comments/feedback (please?)

 

Not maybe the comment you were looking for but the combination of that background and that font is painful.

Your info seems extensive, but I have to cut and paste it to another format to read it. I'd try bolder/larger/different font/color...is it just my 50 year old eyes?

 

[My thesis is that the names of gods all around the world are/can be related. ]

I agree: [I hope this is not too long??? ENJOY]

Chapter Seven

Identities of the Noahic Elite of genesis 10 found in National Mythologies.



Each patriarch or matriarch commands only one primary entry. Either by primary entries or cross-referencing, every name in Genesis 10 and three from Genesis 11 are listed in the order of occurrence in the Bible. Three columns present the biblical name of the primary entrant, various identities and the political or cultural context in which the name occurs. Names in boldface in the central column are ones used most often in this study when they do not correspond to the all-capital name to the left. Biblical citations are placed in parentheses.

The relationship between Peleg-Caradawg and his feudal father Brân calls for comment. Brân is the Welsh version of Japheth’s son Javan; and Caradawg, a version of Peleg-Sabtecah with a name derived from the Andamese word for a crocodile Karaduku, identifying him with the Egyptian crocodile god Sobdek or Sobek. Because Peleg became one of the four horsemen of the Teutates panel and died in the Battle of Teutates, a logical conclusion is that the four horsemen were sworn as vassals by Javan to compensate him for the loss of his four vassals of 10:4, slain in the Battle of Metelis.

Thus for a brief time at least, Javan became the feudal lord of Arphaxad I-Taranis, Eber, Peleg-Cernunnus and Joktan-Esus. These feudal relationships followed from Eber and Joktan’s vassalage to Javan’s grandfather Japheth as Tubal and Meshech. Kurdistan is the result of their allied victory in the Battle of Teutates.

Loki’s father Farbauti is Mizraim’s brother Canaan, not Mizraim himself. In this case Norse mythology treats the sons of Ham as collective body of “giants” equivalent to the Hamite Titans of Hellenic tradition.

Poseidon Hellenic Olympian sea god

Ptah Egyptian god of wisdom, lord of Caphtor-Crete

Sanakhte Egyptian founder of Dynasty III

Sint-Holo Muskhogean god of languages and writing, invisible horned serpent

Tasmisu Hittite god


The identification of Ea, Enki, Kothar-wa-khasis and Ptah is traditional among scholars. Instead of referring these names to a single human being as I do, conventional scholars explain these wisdom gods as the result of cross-cultural religious influence. The sequence from Caphtor, last of the Mizraim clan, and Sidon, first of the Canaanite, is meaningful in itself. As Egyptian Ptah, Sidon claims imperium over Caphtor-Crete just as Sidon-Poseidon claims imperium over the Mediterranean from the port of Sidon westward. The Hellenes accurately sourced the all-important family of Poseidon and Libya— the Javanites— in Phoenicia. Waddell claims to source the Brythonic Celts of Mynogan, Beli and Dôn in Phoenicia. The identification of Sint-Holo is based solely on attribute.


HETH (10:15)

Hades Hellenic Olympian god of the .underworld, brother of Poseidon

Hedammu Hurrian sea monster, “son” of Kumarbi

Lang Thai war god

Oman Amazonian god

Ur-Nanshe Sumerian founder of Lagashite

Dynasty in Dynasty III period


Er-Lang’s relationship to Arphaxad I (Jade Emperor) is explained by identifying Heth’s father Canaan, Arphaxad’s brother-in-law, as his “brother.” In the Hurrian Song of Hedammu, Heth is pictured as a sea monster consistent with his fathering the “eleven monsters” of the Marduk Epic, given the hostile reputation of Lagash and Waddell’s view that Ur-Nanshe and his family became masters of the sea. One of the Altaic “sons” of Bai Ulgan, Er-Kanim, suggests a form Ur-Kanym, based on the Altaic name of Bai Ulgan’s wife Kanym— Mahadevi wife of Noah. Mahadevi was Heth’s mother by Canaan.

Sargon Akkadian ruler, founder of the Akkadian Dynasty

Utulkalamma Sumerian ruler of Eanna Dynasty

Varuna Indian captor god


The close parallel between Nimrod and Asshur in 10:10-11 identifies both names with Sargon. As Asshur, Nimrod founded Nineveh at some time during his Akkadian 56 years. The reappearance of the name Sargon among Assyrian rulers makes the point as does the continuity of Akkadian and Assyrian traditions. An internet source identifies two Asyrian kings Ushpiya and Apiashal as reigning in the period of Akkadian dominance. In view of Ahriman’s equation with evil in the Aryan tradition, note Waddell’s view that the Indians took their word for a demon, ashura, from the cruel example of the Assyrians prior to the Indian exodus from Cappadocia to Gangetic India.

Some of the best "older" books research on COMPARATIVE MYTHOLOGY Are - foundations to Alexander Hislop, are these. (Hislop gets a lot of his identifications for Nimrod from Algernon Herbert in "NIMROD", 1828 and earlier pub dates. OTHER researchers into comparative etymology and mythology are:

Dr. John D. Pilkey: origin of the Nations, Noah's family Speaks, Kingship At Its Source, Postdiluvian Timeline, Mesopotamian Timeline, and 3 other titles; OTHER older Titles:
Andrew Ramsey 1779; Antoine Banier- Myth and Fables of the Ancients 1739; Sir William Jones- Asiatic Researches 1770s; JACOB BRYANT New Analysis of Mythology 1790s; Thomas Burnett Sacred theory of the earth 1719; George Stanley Faber- Origin of Pagan Idolatry 1800s; ALGERNON HERBERT "NIMROD" 1828 ed.; SAMUEL SHUCKFORD-1848 Sacred and Profane History; THOMAS BLACKWELL 1748 Letters Concerning Myth; and L.A. WADDELL- makers or Race and Civil.

THE BEST comparative etymology books can be had by KEY WORD SEARCHES for:
"SUMERIAN compared to Chinese, ... to Turkic languages - to Indo-European Languages- to Dravidian-Tamil- to Indus Writing, etc,.. LOLOL, Sumerian seems to be attached to and the prototype to just about all other lang groups, BUT etymologists say, it is an ISOLATE language and has no affinity to other languages. Well, it is a separate Isolate, BUT other L. groups house many LONE WORDS FROM Sumerian or at least share similar roots.
HAVE FUN.
