From Aramaic אִישְׁתְּיָאמָא (ʾištyāmā) / ܐܸܫܬܝܵܡܵܐ (ʾeštyāmā, “captain”), assumed to be from Akkadian 𒊮𒌓 (ŠA₃.TAM /šatammu/, “administrator, chief accountant”), from Sumerian 𒊮𒌓 (ŠA₃.TAM /šatam/, “auditor, administration official”), having passed into Aramaic as */šətammā/ → */šətēmā/ → /ištēmā/, then misvocalized and spoken instead of אִשְׁתֵּימָא (ʾištēmā) as אִשְׁתְּיָמָא (ʾištyāmā) and written plene אִישְׁתְּיָאמָא (ʾištyāmā).
