'''アリンナの太陽女神'''(Sun goddess of Arinna)は時にはアリニッティ(Arinniti)あるいはウルセム(Wuru(n)šemu)と同一視される。<ref>"Arinna", December 27, 2018, Wikipediaより</ref> is the chief goddess and wife of the weather god [[Tarḫunna]] in [[Hittite mythology]]. 女神はヒッタイト神話の最高神で、天候神タルフンナの妻とされる。 She protected the Hittite kingdom and was called the "Queen of all lands." Her cult centre was the sacred city of [[Arinna]].
In addition to the Sun goddess of Arinna, the Hittites also worshipped the [[Sun goddess of the Earth]] and the [[Sun god of Heaven]], while the [[Luwians]] originally worshipped the old Proto-Indo-European Sun god [[Tiwaz (Luwian deity)|Tiwaz]]. It appears that in the northern cultural sphere of the early Hittites, there was no male solar deity.<ref>Maciej Popko: ''Zur luwischen Komponente in den Religionen Altanatoliens''; AOF 34 (2007), 63–69</ref>
