names - Who was Haman's mother?


Is there any mention of Haman's mother in rabbinic literature (Gemara, Midrash, etc.)?


If she was discussed in the Gemara or other sources, what was her name?



Answer



Her name was אמתלאי בת עורבתי.




ואמר רב חנן בר רבא אמר רב אמיה דאברהם אמתלאי בת כרנבו אמיה דהמן אמתלאי בת עורבתי וסימניך טמא טמא טהור טהור



Bava Basra 91a
