Barsal-nuna (Sumerian: bar.sal.nun.na) of Kish was the seventeenth Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to the Sumerian King List. His father was En-me-nuna; he succeeded his brother Melem-Kish.[1] His name may have meant Sheep of the Prince. Barsal means A sheep.[2] Barsal-nuna is not mentioned in Early Dynastic documents, meaning that is likely that he was not a historical person.[3]
