In ancient Mesopotamia, he was also regarded as the "star of Ninurta," the Mesopotamian fertility deity.[1][2][3]

## In other cultures

Kiwan (Mandaic for Saturn) is derived from the Mesopotamian name.[4] Kayvan is the Persian equivalent name.

Kēwān (Classical Syriac: ܟܹܐܘܵܢ) also being a loan from Akkadian, is the name for Saturn in Syriac among later Assyrians.[5]
