About Ninella
Ninella, a Sumerian name, means "lady of the earth." In Sumerian mythology, Ninella is the consort of the water god Enki, and the mother of mankind. The Sumerian account of the beginning states that Ninella and her partner created a vast network of canals, bringing rain to a desolate land, leading to the flourishing of plants and animals.
Ninella also has a Russian origin, as the feminine form of the name Lenin, which is associated with the Lena River. The Lena River is the largest river in Russia and its name may derive from the Even-Evenk word "Elyu-Ene," meaning "the Large River." Alternatively, some believe the name comes from the Turkish (Sakha) word "Ölüöne," likely sharing the same meaning of "Large River."
