The biblical GN, '''ASSYRIA''' is the English name of the original homeland of the people called [[ASSYRIAN|A<small>SSYRIANS</small>]]. One of the capital cities of the [[ASSYRIAN|A<small>SSYRIANS</small>]] was called Aššur, from the same root. The city and the people no doubt took their name from the name of their national deity Aššur. As has been pointed out, the biblical genealogies name “Asshur, . . . the son of Shem” ([http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_chr/1/17#17 1 Chronicles 1:17]) as the eponymous ancestor of the [[ASSYRIAN|A<small>SSYRIANS</small>]] ([[George Reynolds|Reynolds]], ''DBM'' 85).
'''ASSYRIA''' is the name of an ancient Near Eastern land located in Mesopotamia. It occurs in the [[ISAIAH|I<small>SAIAH</small>]] section of the 2 Nephi with reference to the biblical land but does not refer to a separate Book of Mormon GN or PN. The GN A<small>SSYRIA</small> may derive from one of their capitals, Assur, itself probably taken from their national god, Assur.
