סרן¹
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Philistine, F. M. Cross suggests 𐤈𐤓𐤍 (ṭrn), which he translates as "tyrant". R. D. Barnett speculated the Philistine term might be Indo-European and related to Hittite [script needed] (šarawanaš) / [script needed] (tarawanaš) or Ancient Greek τῠ́ραννος (tŭ́rannos), itself probably a loan from Asia Minor (see entry).
