Shuzianna (Šuzianna; 𒀭𒋗𒍣𒀭𒈾 dŠu-zi-an-na) was a Mesopotamian goddess. She was chiefly worshiped in Nippur, where she was regarded as a secondary spouse of Enlil. She is also known from the enumerations of children of Enmesharra, while in the myth Enki and Ninmah she is one of the seven minor goddesses helping with the creation of mankind.
==Name== Shuzianna's name has Sumerian origin and means "the just hand of heaven." A late text offers an esoteric bilingual explanation, "AN-tum gāmilat (ŠU.GAR) napišti (ZI) dA-nim," "the goddess (alternatively: Antu) who saves the life of Anu." Another similar source explains it as "dBe-let Babili, e-ti-rat," "Lady of Babylon, the savior," based on the similarity to Šu-an-naki, an uncommon alternate name of that city.
