Nisaba (𒀭𒊺𒉀) was the Sumerian goddess of grain and writing — patron of scribes and the harvest. Most Sumerian literary tablets end with the phrase "Praise be to Nisaba." She was venerated as the divine source of literacy.
Rare but iconic in Sumerian studies.
Nisaba 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 Nisaba reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
