Baalshamin (literally "Lord of Heaven[s]") is a Northwest Semitic theonym/title used across the Levant and adjacent regions to denote a supreme sky/heavenly lord. Depending on time and place it functions as an epithet of other deities (notably Hadad/Baal) or as a distinct civic/sky deity associated with weather, lightning, and sometimes solar aspects; attested in inscriptions from Ugarit, Phoenicia, Safaitic Arabia, Palmyra, Nabataea, and in treaty and stele texts.
