· Hammurabi said: "Abim pi alidi-ya." (Of my father who begat me.)
In its primitive form, Abgal meant:

Leader.
Father of the people.
Ruler.
Chief.

In ancient Sumer, it was used as a title of reverence and respect.
This ancient Sumerian title gave birth to the modern meaning of the word "Reverend" (Respected or respectable), usually used upon addressing a pastor.
The Arabs in the Middle and Near East regions call a priest or a pastor either Ab, Abouna or Mouhtaram.
The word Mouhtaram means respected, reverend.
The Copts (Christian Egyptians) and Ethiopians use the word Abouna or Abunna (Our father, referring to a priest.)
From Gal, derived the Arabic adjective Ghali which means:

Expensive.
Important.
Dear to loved ones.

Abgal, originally derived from the Anak'h Ab (leader; father) and Gh'al (From above or from heaven.)

Anunnaki: Sumerian/Akkadian. Noun. The word Anunnaki is composed of three words or more, depending on the choice of linguists:

1- Anu, which is the name of the Anunnaki's supreme god. And the epistemological meaning of Anu is: Lord; leader; king.
2- Na, is either a verb or an adverb, meaning to send. In many Akkadian, Sumerian, Assyrian and Old Babylonian texts and inscriptions, "Na" was written as "Ina", and meant in, from within, so on.
3- Ki, generally means Earth in Akkadian and Sumerian. But Ki also means, in Akkadian and Sumerian:
a-The underworld,
b- The netherworld,
c- The world of death.
These three words were commonly referred to as KURNUGI (Kurnu-Ki), meaning hell and the land of no return.

The Akkadian/Sumerian Anunnaki word is used in a plural form to represent the gods of heaven and Earth, known as ANUNA, and are represented as a amê u erSetim, meaning of heaven and earth.

a amê means heaven or sky in Akkadian and Sumerian.
Shem and shama in Phoenician,
Sama in Arabic.

ErSetim means earth.
Thus, the Anunnaki and Igigi are grouped together under Anunna.
Later on in history, and in order to differentiate between the Anunnaki and the Igigi;

The scribes called the Anunnaki, the gods of Earth, also gods of the netherworld, and gods of the Empire of Death;
The scribes called the Igigi, gods of the Heaven.

This differentiation is very clear in all the Mesopotamian clay tablets, particularly in the Ishtar Descent to the Underworld (Ki), the poem/myth of Gilgamesh, the Enuma Elish, etc...

Other names of the Anunnaki:
The Anunnaki were known to many neighboring countries in the Near East, Middle East, and Anatolia.
And because of the languages' differences, the Anunnaki were called differently.

1-The Habiru (Early Hebrews/Israelites) called them Anakim and Nephilim, meaning to fall down to earth.

2-Some passages in the Old Testament refer to them as Elohim.
3-In Ashuric (Assyrian-Chaldean), and Syriac-Aramaic, they are called Jabaariyn, meaning the mighty ones.
4-In Aramaic, Chaldean and Hebrew, the Anunnaki as Gibborim mean the mighty or majestic ones.
5-In literary Arabic, it is Jababira. The early Arabs called them Al Jababira; sometimes Amalika.
6-The Egyptians called them Neteru.
7-The early Phoenicians called them An.Na Kim, meaning the god or heaven who sent them to us.
8-The early inhabitants of Arwad called then Anu.ki, meaning the subjects or followers of Anu. Sometimes, they were called Anu. Ki.ram. (Ram means people, persons, community, tribes, group)
9-The early Hyksos (Ancestors of the Armenians) who invaded and ruled Egypt, called them the Anuramkir and Anuramkim, meaning the people of Anu on earth. It is composed of three words: Anu + ram (People) + Ki (Earth). The primitive form of Ki was kir or kiim.
10-The Greeks called them the Annodoti.
11- In the Book of Enoch, they are called The Nephilim, "The Sons of God," or the "Watchers".
12-The Ulema call them Annakh or Al Annaki, meaning the people from above.
13-In other parts of Anatolia, and especially in the lands of the Hittites, the Anunnaki were also called Anunnaku, and Ananaki.

The Annunaki appeared in the Babylonian creation myth/epic, "Enuma Elish". In the late version, glorifying Marduk, after the creation of mankind, Marduk divides the Anunnaki and assigns them to diverse parts of the earth.
According to later Babylonian myths, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot) who were the children of Lahm and Lahmu, names/titles bestowed upon the gatekeepers of the Abzu temple at Eridu.
