Lehite GN 1. Mountain on LAMANITE border, ca. 72 BC (Alma 47:7, 9–10)

Etymology

It is possible that this GN is related to the Greek PN recorded in Revelation 2:13, ANTIPAS, a common hypocoristic form for *anti'patros, “like (his) father” (cf. *anti'pais, “like a child; a mere boy”), an extremely common Greek name or epithet. Note the Greek city name antipatri's, “belonging to Antipater,” a city built by Herod the Great in memory of his father (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 16:142ff.).

It is also possible that the GN is composed of two elements, anti- and -pas. For the first element see the discussion under ANTINEPHILEHI. For -pas, cf. Nabatean ps, “part, portion,” Punic ps, “tablet,” or Nabatean ps͂s͂, “to be divided, to be violated, to be separated” (DNWSI 921 & 931).
