Etymology
The word Ea is the name of an ancient Babylonian god of water, wisdom, and creation, and he is the same figure as the older Sumerian god Enki. The name Enki is linked to a phrase meaning 'lord of the earth' and to fresh water, so you can picture Ea as the wise water-giver who creates and protects life.
