'''Etymology'''

Confer the biblical [[Personal Name|PN]] ''lĕmūʾel'', '''L<small>EMUEL</small>''', [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/prov/31/1,4#1 Proverbs 31:1, 4], meaning, possibly, "(belonging) to God," the ''mū'' in ''lĕmū'' an "inserted additional style" ([[Koehler, Ludwig, and Walter Baumgartner, The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament. 5 vols. revised by W. Baumgartner and Johann J. Stamm. Leiden: Brill, 1994. trans. of 5-volume 3rd German edition.|''HALOT'']] 1958 483b). Note the Edomite [[Personal Name|PN]] in the text “The Words of '''L<small>EMUEL</small>''', King of Massa" ([[Hugh W. Nibley, "Lehi in the Desert; The World of the Jaredites; There Were Jaredites." John W. Welch, Darrell L. Matthews, and Stephen R. Callister, eds. Collected Works of Hugh Nibley. 5. Salt Lake City/Provo: Deseret Book/FARMS, 1988.|''LID'']], 41-42 and [[Hugh Nibley, An Approach to the Book of Mormon. 3rd ed. Collected Works of Hugh Nibley 6. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, FARMS, 1988.|''ABM'']], 59).

[[George Reynolds|Reynolds]] and [[Janne M. Sjodahl|Sjodahl]] (1:26) give the meaning “Godward” or “God is bright.”
