Trivia
- The name Sargon is the Hebrew version of the Akkadian name Sharru-ukin, from the words Šarru, meaning 'king', and kinu, meaning 'true, legitimate'.
- Based on this, it is possible that Sargon is a Hellenized Assyrian, as he shares the name with several Assyrian kings. The most famous being Sargon of Akkad, the founder of the Akkadian Empire.
