Question: What was Eannatum's name known as for the ancient semitic-speaking people from Syria?

Eannatum (Sumerian: ) was a Sumerian king of Lagash; he established one of the first verifiable empires in history.  One inscription found on a boulder states that Eannatum was his Sumerian name, while his "Tidnu" (Amorite) name was "Lumma". <SEP> The historic region of Syria (Hieroglyphic Luwian: "Sura/i"; ; in modern literature called Greater Syria, Syria-Palestine, or the Levant) is an area located east of the Mediterranean sea.  The oldest attestation of the name Syria is from the 8th century BC in a bilingual inscription in Hieroglyphic Luwian and Phoenician.  In this inscription the Luwian word "Sura/i" was translated to Phoenician "ʔšr" "Assyria."  For Herodotus in the 5th century BC, Syria extended as far north as the Halys river and as far south as Arabia and Egypt.  For Pliny the Elder and Pomponius Mela, Syria covered the entire Fertile Crescent.  In Late Antiquity Syria meant a region located to the East of the Mediterranean Sea, West of the Euphrates River, North of the Arabian Desert and South of the Taurus Mountains, thereby including modern Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, the State of Palestine and parts of Southern Turkey namely the Hatay Province and the Western half of the Southeastern Anatolia Region.  This late definition is equivalent to the region known in Classical Arabic by the name "ash-Shām " الشام /ʔaʃ-ʃaːm/ , which means "the north [country]" (from the root "šʔm " شأم "left, north").  After the Islamic conquest of Byzantine Syria in the 7th century AD, the name "Syria" fell out of primary use in the region itself, being superseded by the Arabic equivalent "Shām", but survived in its original sense in Byzantine and Western European usage, and in Syriac Christian literature.  In the 19th century the name Syria was revived in its modem Arabic form to denote the whole of Bilad al-Sham, either as "Suriyah" or the modern form "Suriyya", which eventually replaced the Arabic name of Bilad al-Sham.  After World War I, the name Syria was applied to the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon and the contemporaneous but short-lived Arab Kingdom of Syria. <SEP> Semites, Semitic people or Semitic cultures (from the biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם‎ ‎ ) was a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group who speak or spoke the Semitic languages.  The terminology was first used in the 1770s by members of the Göttingen School of History, who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis.  The term "Semites", together with the parallel terms Hamites and Japhetites, is now largely obsolete outside linguistics.  However, in archaeology, the term is sometimes used informally as "a kind of shorthand" for ancient Semitic-speaking peoples. <SEP>  The term "Amurru" in Akkadian and Sumerian texts refers to both them and to their principal deity. The Amorites ( ; Sumerian 𒈥𒌅 "MAR.TU"; <a href="Akkadian">Akkadian</a> "Tidnum" or "Amurrūm"; <a href="Egyptian%20language">Egyptian</a> "Amar"; <a href="Hebrew%20language">Hebrew</a> אמורי "ʼĔmōrī"; <a href="Ancient%26nbsp%3BGreek">Ancient Greek</a>: Ἀμορραῖοι ) were an ancient <a href="Semitic%20languages">Semitic-speaking</a> people from <a href="Syria%20%28region%29">Syria</a> who also occupied large parts of southern <a href="Mesopotamia">Mesopotamia</a> from the 21st century BC to the end of the 17th century BC, where they established several prominent <a href="city%20state">city state</a>s in existing locations, notably <a href="Babylon">Babylon</a>, which was raised from a small town to an independent state and a major city.
