Nergal-Sharetser: a personal name of Babylonian origin, referring to two individuals mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically high-ranking officials or princes in the Neo-Babylonian empire. The name is composed of two elements: 'Nergal', the name of a Mesopotamian deity associated with the underworld, war, and plague, and 'Sharetser', likely meaning 'protect(s) the king' or 'prince.' Thus, the full name means 'O Nergal, protect the king' or 'Nergal, (the) prince/guardian.'
