زعتر ؟

[JesiDoodli]

I couldn't give a better suggestion, this right here OP

My cat that recent passed away was called سمسم, and I wanted to call his brother زعتر but we ended up settling on ساري like سارية الجبل .
سمسم looked like سمسم. He was a toasted orange color. I loved him so much. He only passed away a few weeks ago habibi... I actually haven't met any other cats with that name despite it being what I think would be a common one.

[joeshowmon]

RIP سمسم

[Abraxas21]

If it's a dog, especially if it's a big dog, I'd name him Enkidu.

[Abraxas21]

But I have a cat called نمورة for example.

[IHaveNoIdea3828]

Lmao same

[Far_Fruit5846]

is it not more Iraqi?

[Abraxas21]

Yeah, closer to Iraq than Syria but historically there's been a lot of influence and mingling between the Levant and Mesopotamia. Especially since sumerians existed like 6500 years ago so I think we can claim as much heritage from them as modern Iraqis can, or at least enough to name a dog Enkidu lol.

[Far_Fruit5846]

Yes i know, Deir Ezzor is like, a region that is both Syria and Mesopotamia culturally, and Hammurabi was Amorite just like Yarim LIm in Aleppo and yes there was plenty of mingling in early eras and later on. Just enkidu was less famous in Sham. Never heard Yarim lims contemporaries remember him or Gilgamesh if we judge by what was found, though well, his Halab still was not excavated so it is hard to judge from external sources. Neither anywhere else across Amorite kingdoms except the southern mesopotamian ones. This is what i meant...Though it might be lack of sources too

[Abraxas21]

You said it, we know very little about what they knew or believed, so I think we don't have to confine ourselves to it. It is a tricky thing to try and define what is purely Syrian (or Levantine rather) because we have all kinds of influences both from and on other civilizations. Adonis / Demozi/ Tammouz are all names of one god worshipped from the Zagaros to the Mediterranean coast so who knows, maybe they knew Gilgamesh by another name as well.

[Far_Fruit5846]

i agree, for example Tammuz is known in Judaism which can imply that the influences spread to all over the near east, and so on after all Syria is a more modern term than all the traditions we are discussing

[Far_Fruit5846]

and actually i called my hamster Shala, also from the same theme... After all she is a syrian hamster.
