| 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)
