Lahamu ( , d la-ḫa-mu) was a minor figure in some variants of Mesopotamian cosmology, the feminine counterpart of Lahmu.
In some god lists she was one of the ancestors of Anu.W. G. Lambert, Babylonian Creation Myths, 2013, p. 424F. Wiggermann, Mesopotamian Protective Spirits: The Ritual Texts, 1992, p. 154-155 In Enuma Elish she is the first-born daughter of Tiamat and Abzu. With her brother Lahmu she is the mother of Anshar and Kishar, who were in turn parents of the first gods.W. G. Lambert, Babylonian Creation Myths, 2013, p. 417
19th and early 20th century researchers incorrectly viewed both Lahmu and Lahamu as the representations of the zodiac, parent-stars, or constellations.
