Meaning and history
Sargon is the Hebrew form סַרְגּוֹן (Sargon) of the Akkadian name Sharru-ukin, derived from šarru, meaning “king,” and kīnu, meaning “legitimate” or “true.” It was the name of the first king of the Akkadian Empire, who began ruling in the 24th century BC, and was later borne by the 8th-century BC Assyrian king Sargon II, who appears briefly in the Old Testament. The usual English spelling comes from this biblical reference and is applied retroactively to the earlier king.
