Nahundi or Nahhundi (in Akkadian, Nahhunte) was the ancient Persian Elamite god of the sun and of law. His name means "creator of the day".[1] Little else is known about this deity.
A great 12th century BCE king of Elam, Shutur Nahundi (Shutruk-Nahhunte), was named after this god.
A stele from Susa dated to the second millennium BCE can be found at the Louvre, which portrays the deity administering justice.[1]
