Mēr
deity single tradition · 1
Mēr is a god whose name appears in the theophoric name Itūr-Mēr, which can be translated as "(the god) Mēr has turned (to me)" or "Mēr has returned." Some researchers propose that Itūr-Mēr was a hypostasis of Mēr. According to Schwemer, an argument against identifying Itūr-Mēr and Mēr as two forms of one deity is the fact that the former was not a weather god.

“The name of Itūr-Mēr is structured like a theophoric name and can be translated as "(the god) Mēr has turned (to me)" or "Mēr has returned." The element Itūr- is attested in many Akkadian names, both from Mari and other locations, such as Itūr-Sin, Itūr-Addu and Itūr-Ea.”
