Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Latin Sinatruces, itself borrowed from Ancient Greek Σινατρούκης (Sinatroúkēs), Σανατρούκιος (Sanatroúkios), a further borrowing from Middle Iranian. Akin to Aramaic 𐡎𐡍𐡕𐡓𐡅𐡊 (sntrwk), Hatran Aramaic 𐣮𐣭𐣨𐣣𐣥𐣲 (snṭrwq), Arabic سَاطِرُون (sāṭirūn), Old Armenian Սանատրուկ (Sanatruk), Iranian borrowings.
The name is only attested since the Parthian period. According to Henning, it is derived from Old Iranian *sāna-taru-ka- (“enemy-conquering”).[1] Alternatively, Eilers suggests Jewish Babylonian Aramaic Aramaic santū(ā) (senator) and Middle Iranian -ūk.[2]
