Nidaba (or Nisaba) was the Sumerian goddess of writing, accounting, scribes, grain, and astrology — daughter of An (the sky) and patroness of the city of Umma. Every Sumerian scribal text traditionally ended with the phrase "Praise to Nidaba!" Before becoming the writing goddess, she was originally the goddess of grain — the connection reflecting that early cuneiform was used for accounting harvests.
Featured throughout Sumerian and Old Babylonian scribal literature.
Nidaba does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Nidaba reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
