Etymology
Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.
No etymology is suggested.
Nibley has suggested EGYPTIAN PN (of princes) mry.itn, “beloved of Aton,” and mry.imn, “beloved of Amon” (LID, 27). But, despite the challenge of using EGYPTIAN to explain a JAREDITE PN, it would be difficult to explain how a Lehite could have a name based on a non-ISRAELITE theophoric element.
Cf. Book of Mormon MORIANCUMER, MAHONRI MORIANCUMER, MORON, CORIANTON, MORIANTUM, GADIANTON, CUMORAH, et al.
