Sarduri is Urartian in Origin.
The royal name Sarduri is Urartian, known earliest from ninth-century BC inscriptions and Assyrian annals of the Van kingdom. Its native form is conventionally read Sarduri; Assyrian scribes also represented it as Ishtarduri, equating the divine element Sardi with Ishtar. A common analysis separates Sardi, the deity’s name, from duri, a giving element, yielding the literal sense given by Sardi.
Sarduri I ruled Urartu about 834–828 BC and is associated with shifting the royal center to Tushpa, modern Van. The name remained dynastic in the Urartian court, borne by later kings including Sarduri II and Sarduri III. Forms such as Sarduris, Sedur, Asiduri, and Assyrian Ishtarduri reflect transliteration and cuneiform adaptation rather than separate traditions. Modern use is uncommon, appearing chiefly in Armenian and ancient Near Eastern historical contexts.
Sarduri does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
