His name means "Nebu [Babylonian deity], protect my crown!" or "Nebu has protected my inheritance". Some others claim it means "Nebu, protect my offspring/son!", "morning star" (which I doubt), "belonging to Nebu", "Nebu's conqueror", "protector of your own border", "Nebu, defend the boundary!", "Nebu, royal prince of Assyria", "Nebu, protect the king!", "Nebu is your protection against all misfortune" or "tears and groans of judgment".

Like many Biblical names, it is possible that it has several meanings, with different hidden meanings and all.
