Ea

The masculine form of Ea derives from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian traditions, where it was the name of the god of wisdom, water, and magic, one of the most important deities of the Mesopotamian pantheon, closely associated with the Sumerian god Enki. The feminine form is a Scandinavian short form of names beginning with the Old Norse element ey, meaning island or good fortune, used in Danish and Norwegian contexts. Related names include Enki, the Sumerian counterpart, and the Scandinavian Eva and Ea-derived pet forms common in Nordic naming traditions.
