Etymology

Because ANTUM is north of the narrow neck of land, it may be JAREDITE or an indigenous GN. An EGYPTIAN etymology is also possible, *`n.tm(w), “many waters, 10,000 waters” (RFS).

Unlikely is Akkadian antum, female divinity and consort of Anum. The ending -um is a nominative singular case ending and would not have been borrowed into biblical HEBREW. The best known example of HEBREW borrowing from Akkadian, ekallum (itself a borrowing from Sumerian é.gal) > hkl, “temple, palace,” appears in HEBREW without the case ending.

See also the king of Ashdod during Sennacherib’s Third Campaign, Mi-ti-in-ti (Col II, line 54).
