| Lehite PN | 1. | Apparently a renegade general, ca. 400 AD (Moroni 9:16) |
Etymology
Possibly a hybrid HEBREW-EGYPTIAN name *ze-nfy, "The One of Nephi," beginning with the HEBREW demonstrative ze-, and adding ancient EGYPTIAN nfy "captain; sailor; wind," or EGYPTIAN nf(r) "beautiful, good."[1] Cf. HEBREW Ze-Sînay "The One of Sinai," as treated by Albright (epithet of Jehovah at Judges 5:5),[2] Lihyanite Ḏ-ʿmn, Ḏ-rḥmh, Ḏ-mslmh, Ḏ-blʹ, and Thamudic Ḏû-baraq "The One of Lightning."[3]
Val Sederholm sugests EGYPTIAN Z3-Nfy "Son of Nephi" (RFS).
Another possibility is the nisbe form of ZENIFF, i.e., hypothetical HEBREW gentilic ṣenipî "tiaraed, crowned, enwrapped (with turban)," a derivation from HEBREW ṣanif, miṣnefet "tiara, turban," worn by men (Job 29:14), such as the high priest (Leviticus 16:4, Zechariah 3:5), or by women (Isaiah 3:23||2 Nephi 13:23).
Cf. Book of Mormon NEPHI, LEHI-NEPHI, NEPHIHAH, et al., also ZENIFF
