Meaning & History
This was the name of a goddess in Elamite religion. It is uncertain what the meaning of her name was in the Elamite language. Not much is known about Shiashum, unfortunately. It is said that she, along with the goddesses Narundi and Niarzina, was a sister of the "great goddess", namely Kiririsha. She was entitled "keeper of the palace of the gods" in the late Elamite period, so perhaps she was a guardian of some sort.
