Answer 3

"IT is an assyrian name/ king"

...No. It is the God of the Assyrians. There was no Assyrian king named Ashur. But rather AshurBANIPAL, AshurDAN PUZURAshur etc... So there was no Singular form. How ever today Assyrians do give their son's the name Ashur as a singular form

The Assyrians did not require conquered peoples to take up the worship of Ashur; instead, Assyrian imperial Propaganda declared that the conquered peoples had been abandoned by their gods. When Assyria conquered Babylon in the Sargonid period (8th-7th centuries BCE), Assyrian scribes began to write the name of Ashur with the cuneiform signs AN.SHAR, literally "whole heaven" in Akkadian, the language of Babylon. The intention seems to have been to put Ashur at the head of the Babylonian pantheon, where Anshar and his counterpart Kishar ("whole earth") preceded even Enlil and Ninlil. Thus in the Sargonid version of the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian national creation myth, Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, does not appear, and instead it is Ashur, as Anshar, who slays Tiamat the chaos-monster and creates the world of humankind.

Some scholars have claimed that Ashur was represented as the solar disc that appears frequently in Assyrian icongraphy, but evidence indicates that this is in fact the sun god Shamash. Many Assyrian kings had names that included the name Ashur, including, above all, Ashurnasirpal, Esarhaddon (Ashur-aha-iddina), and Ashurbanipal. Epithets include Belu Rabu "great lord", ab ilâni "father of gods", šadû rabû "great mountain", and il aššurî "god of Ashur".
