Metatron

English Etymology From en he מְטַטְרוֹן Məṭaṭrôn, whose origin is obscure. Possibly from en he מטרא mattara 'keeper of the watch.' The Greek/Latin form superficially appears to be a Greek compound metagrc -τρον, but that would not seem to make much sense semantically, meaning something like "among-tool." It has also been proposed that the Hebrew word actually does in turn originate from Greek, coming from μετά + θρόνος, with the "th" being transformed into a "t" as the word was repeatedly taken up by one language from another. A review by Hekhalot lists these two possibilities plus seven more.Sefer Hekhalot, "Evolution of the roles and titles," in ch. 3, p. 93, of The Enoch-Metatron Tradition (TSAJ, 107; Tuebingen: Mohr-Siebeck, 2005).
