Here's a source on it that I just found:The moon god's name was (of all things): Sin.
Sin (Mesopotamian god) -- Encyclopedia Britannica
In the encyclopedia it says, "Nanna, the Sumerian name for the moon god, may have originally meant only the full moon, whereas Su-en, later contracted to Sin, designated the crescent moon...Sin was represented as an old man with a flowing beard—a wise and unfathomable god—wearing a headdress of four horns surmounted by a crescent moon."
This part is interesting since Islam's symbol is the crescent moon, and some people claim that Muhammad took the moon god and declared that this god was the almighty "Allah" in order to get the pagans to follow him. If Muhammad fused this religion with Judaism and made this moon god into Abraham's god then it would not be the same as our God.
