Do you know where the BAU Clinic name comes from?
Baba or Bau, in Sumerian and Akkadian mythology, lately named Ninisina or Gula, is the goddess of healing and tutelary deity of Lagash, daughter of the mother goddess Gatumdu and, therefore, granddaughter of the Sumerian supreme pantheon who she sometimes called “father” when referring to him (which can give rise to some misconception). She probably had a local origin as a mother goddess and she was also called “Lady of abundance” for controlling animals and human beings’ fertility.
She was the wife of the god of war, Ningirsu, with whom she had seven daughters, including Hegir-Nuna (Gangir).
Her name, meaning “bark” or “guau” (bau), has probably an onomatopoeic origin as the bark of a dog and, sometimes, she was represented with a dogs’ head. Texts found in the ruins of Lagash, dated back to the reign of the reforming Urukagina (2364 – 2342 a. C.), reveals that his wife Sasa conducted business on behalf of “goddess Baba’s House or Temple”.
The king of Lagash, Urbaba ((Ur-Baba, “the man of Baba”) took his name in honour of the goddess. Later on, the kings Urukagina and Gudea (who was called himself “son of Baba”), gave her a preferential treatment in the worship. As Ningirsu’s wife, she was also worshipped in Girsu.
