Hebrew

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Philistine, F. M. Cross suggests 𐤈𐤓𐤍 (ṭrn), which he translates as "tyrant".[1] R. D. Barnett speculated the Philistine term might be Indo-European and related to Hittite (šarawanaš) / (tarawanaš)[2] or Ancient Greek τῠ́ραννος (túrannos), itself probably a loan from Asia Minor (see entry).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
