Puabi

• female

Pu-Abi (Akkadian "Lit." "Word of my Father") was an important personage in the Sumerian city of Ur who lived about 2600-2500 BCE, during the First Dynasty of Ur. While she is normally labeled as a "Queen", that title is somewhat in dispute. Puabi, known in Sumerian as "Shubad", was identified by several cylinder seals in her tomb. These seals indicate that she was a "Nin" a Sumerian word which can denote a Queen or a Priestess. Wikipedia
