Hammurabi was born in 1795 BC in Babylon, modern day Iraq. The lasting contribution of Hammurabi on Babylonian society was his set of laws known as the code of Hammurabi. From the Akkadian language of the Amorite his name means "the kinsman is a healer". He was born royal and inherited the power from his father. Life as a child is not documented and only scanty information exists about his immediate family: his father, Sin-muballit; his sister, Iltani; and his firstborn son and successor, Samsuiluna, are known by name.
