The name of the king and his titles were an essential part
of the cuneiform inscriptions of Urartian kings. Not every inscription provided
this information, as some had been damaged. By studying the historical meaning
of the first royal titles and the subsequent diachronic variations throughout
the lifetime of the kingdom it may be possible to analyse changes in the use of
titles according to the political developments during the reign of a king, if
the changes are random or deliberate adaptations to new socio-political
circumstances. Therefore, it is important to recognize the political realities
behind the use of titles and changes which could provide us with useful
information about the socio-political organisation of the Urartian kingdom. In
order to approach this question, the Urartian royal titles will be separated
into two groups; standard titles and exceptional titles, based upon frequency
of occurrence.
