'adrammelech' originates from Hebrew, specifically the word 'אֲדְרַמֶּלֶךְ', where 'adram' meant 'splendor' and 'melech' meant 'king'.

'אֲדְרַמֶּלֶךְ' was adopted into Greek as 'Adrammelech' and eventually became the modern English word 'adrammelech'.

Initially, it meant 'splendor of the king', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of a deity associated with the sun.
