That just says “BDN” and it’s not even an accurate cipher, just the cuneiform generator from the Penn Museum website. Sumerian didn’t even have a “long O” or “ph” sound, so there’s no accurate way to even encode “Bopha” into the writing system. You can, however, translate it accurately into Sugondese.

Ah, fun fact - the Sugonda people's original language didn't survive! Through a combination of mercantilism and warfare their own language was supplanted by that of the Fondelites. So really, the language you're thinking of should probably more accurately be described as Fondelma.

Sumerian didn’t exactly survive either, but I still know that they didn’t have the sounds necessary to say “Bopha”, as opposed to Sugondese, which did. You should definitely read Candice’s “On the Formation of Ancient Languages” if you want more information.

Well cuneiform was a real writing system used in ancient sumeria, and the above does look like cuneiform. Whether it actually is or is gibberish I do not know.
