| Lehite PN | Military officer, ca. 63 BC (Alma 58:16, 19–20, 23) |
If the te- comes from the demonstrative pronoun,118 the name would mean, “The one of/from Omner,” “Omner” being a Book of Mormon PN and a GN in the period after the Nephite/Mulekite unification.
Perhaps tʿmn or tʾmn, or tʿm+nr or tʾm+nr. Further separation of the elements involved has been proposed. In addition to Omner, Comnor also appears as a name in the Book of Mormon, suggesting Om + ner and Com + nor (where both om/am and ner/nor have been posited as morphemes in Book of Mormon names, based on still further examples) (JAT).
Possible is an Egyptian etymology from the PN Teumman, an easterner living in Egypt (SC, 194).
118 See the discussion under Teancum.
