Meaning & History
Derived from Late Latin mammona meaning "wealth", ultimately from Aramaic מָמוֹנָא (mamona) meaning "money, wealth". In the New Testament, this was material wealth or greed, which was often personified as a deity. 16th-century German theologian Peter Binsfeld classified him as one of the seven princes of Hell. Edmund Spenser used this name for the personification of greed in his epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590).
