| Lehite GN | 1. | Land near the borders of the Lamanites, ca. 73 BC (Alma 39:3) |
Etymology
Given the possibility of Phoenician influence on the Mulekites who first settled the land around ZARAHEMLA,[1] this GN may be identical to the biblically attested Phoenician name for Mount Hermon, namely, שרין śiryôn (Deuteronomy 3:9 and Psalms 29:6), Sirion in KJV (JH, JAT).[2]. Notice also the similar biblical word סרין siryôn which in Jeremiah 46:4 and 51:3 is a type of body armor (JH).
Unlikely are the following suggestions:
A variant spelling of or confusion with Sharon (HEBREW šārōn), a portion of the coastal plain in ISRAEL (JH).
The name of a place called “the cistern of Sirah” (HEBREW bōr has-sirāh) in 2 Samuel 3:26 (JH), possibly Arabic ʿayn sāra(t), a mile and a half NW of Hebron, or ḥirbet sira, SSW of Hebron (JAT).
Biblical seren, “tyrant” (JH).
Biblical sīr, “throne, hook” (JH), but in Isaiah 34:13, “forest, jungle” (luxuriant growth) (RFS).

Notes
- ↑ The River SIDON, part of the Mulekite territories, seems to be identical to the Phoenician city SIDON.
- ↑ Also unusual is the metathesis of the r and n, and the slightly different vowels in the Amorite name for the same mountain, śenīr, KJV Shenir (see Deuteronomy 3:9, and “Senir” in Ezekiel 27:5 and 1 Chronicles 5:23).
