Ammaron could be a variant of Amaron (see above). However, if the double m is to be taken seriously, then ʿm ʾrwn, “people of the ark,” is not impossible (JH), but hardly plausible.
'''Etymology'''


Ammaron is also spelled Amoron (OM Alma 54:1) and Ammoron (OM and PM Alma 54:16, 23; 55:1–2; 56:18, 20; 57:1, 3; 59:7).
'''A<small>MMARON</small>''' could be a variant of [[AMARON|A<small>MARON</small>]] (the [[Deseret Alphabet]] transcriptions are identical). If however the doubled /m/ is intentional, then '''A<small>MMARON</small>''' might not be a variant of [[AMARON|A<small>MARON</small>]]. For the first possibility, see the entry [[AMARON|A<small>MARON</small>]].


Notes
If the doubled /m/ is phonemic, it is possible that '''A<small>MMARON</small>''', like [[AMARON|A<small>MARON</small>]], could well be connected with the West Semitic root אמר ''ʾmr'', “to speak, to say; word.”<ref>Examples of this Hebrew root appearing in biblical [[Personal Name|PN]]s include ''ʾmryh'', Amariah and ''ʾmry'', Imri.

Lehite PN 1. Historian, ca. 306 AD (4 Nephi 1:47, 48, 49; Mormon 1:2 (x2), 5; 2:17 (x3); 4:23)

Etymology

AMMARON could be a variant of AMARON (the Deseret Alphabet transcriptions are identical). If however the doubled /m/ is intentional, then AMMARON might not be a variant of AMARON. For the first possibility, see the entry AMARON.

If the doubled /m/ is phonemic, it is possible that AMMARON, like AMARON, could well be connected with the West Semitic root אמר ʾmr, “to speak, to say; word.”[1] The form could stem from the common Semitic noun pattern for professions, C1AC2C2ĀC3, yielding the form ʾammār, which would mean someone who works with words, and/or with the hypocoristic suffix –ōn[2] (such as the biblical PNs Amnon and Sampson), could mean, “word smith/speaker.” Both AMARON and AMARON were NEPHITE scribes/historians, though separated in time by many centuries.

Because this name is also spelled AMORON[3], and AMMORON[4], it may be related to those two PNs.

Less likely, but not impossible, is biblical HEBREW ʿam-ʾărôn, “people of the ark” (JH).

Cf. Book of Mormon AMARON, AMMORON, AMORON, MORONI, MORONIHAH, EMER, OMER, AMULEK (vs. MULEK)
