Etymology
Until possible language affinities for JAREDITE names can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive. With that caveat, the onomasticon does offer etymologies for some JAREDITE names, especially if it is possible that some JAREDITE names were translated into NEPHITE, or were otherwise related to one or more Semitic languages.
Though the linguistic and cultural links of JAREDITE to ancient Near Eastern languages remain uncertain, some conjectures may still be made. There is no certainty regarding the etymology of JARED, in part because it is unclear whether the JAREDITES were Semitic or Mesopotamian in origin. Still, the antediluvian Book of Mormon patriarchal PN JARED may be derived from the same Hebrew root as the biblical name, “Jared,” namely, ירד yrd, “descend, go down.”[1] It is possible the name is a hypocoristicon meaning “God shall/has descend(ed).”
