Etymology
The PN TEOMNER may be composed of the elements TE- and OMNER, a Book of Mormon PN and a GN that occurs in the period after the Nephite/Mulekite unification. The initial element TE- of the PN TEOMNER may be a Mulekite dialect rendering of the demonstrative m.s. pronoun, which in Hebrew is זה zēh, in Aramaic dā and in Ugaritic dū, thus producing the meaning, “He of/The one of/From OMNER.”
Alternatively, TEOMNER may derive from the Hebrew elements טעם ṭʿm, “to perceive” and נר nēr, “light,” yielding a possible meaning, “Perceive the Light,” with light being a theophoric element.
In addition to OMNER, COMNOR also appears as a name in the Book of Mormon, suggesting om+ner and com+nor (where both om/am and ner/nor have been posited as morphemes in Book of Mormon names, based on still further examples) (JAT).
It is also possible that the PN TEOMNER is related to the Egyptian PN Teumman, an easterner living in Egypt.[1]
