| Lehite PN | 1. | Chief judge, 1st c. BC (Alma 4:17; Alma 50:37) |
| Lehite GN | 2. | City and land, perhaps named from No. 1, 1st c. BC (Alma 50:14; 62:30) |
| 3. | Plains, ca. 61 BC (Alma 62:18) |
This is one of several suffixed names in the Book of Mormon (see also e.g., CUMENI/CUMENIHAH, MATHONI/MATHONIHAH, MORONI/MORONIHAH). For Nephi, see above. For the suffix -hah see the introduction.
Reynolds, Story of the Book of Mormon, p. 299, based on reading -ihah as the theophoric element and neph as coming from some root meaning “consolation,” translates “Jehovah’s consolation.”
Cf. Book of Mormon NEPHI, LEHINEPHI, AHAH
