The Neo- and Late Babylonian text corpus, from the time of the Assyrian (Sargonid) rule until the Seleucid period, contains a very small number of Phoenician anthroponyms. Their patterns and theophorous elements generally correspond to those recorded in the general Phoenician–Punic onomasticon. They are discernible mainly by two criteria, namely theological – the typical Phoenician theophorous elements – and phonological – the Phoenician shift of á to ó. A hybrid Phoenician name is Aštartu-šezib, with the Phoenician–Punic theophorous element ˁAštart followed by an Aramaic–Akkadian predicative element. The identification of two individuals as Moabites and one as Ammonite is based on the fact that the theophorous elements of their names are Moabite (Kemosh) and Ammonite (Milkom). The Ammonite and one of the Moabites bear hybrid names, as their predicative element (in both cases) is Akkadian, viz. (DN-)šarru-uṣur, thereby being also basilophoric names, a fact betraying their link to the palatial sector. The occurrence of hybrid names is due to the Akkadian and Aramaic dominant linguistic milieu of Babylonia in the aforementioned periods.
