Etymology
Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.
Though the linguistic and cultural links of JAREDITE to ancient Near East remain uncertain, some conjectures may still be made. There is no certainty regarding the etymology of JARED, in part because it is unclear whether the JAREDITES were Semitic or Mesopotamian in origin. Still, this antediluvian patriarchal PN JARED may be derived from HEBREW yrd, "descend, go down" (see also Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 46).
