Lehite PN & GN | 1. | Son of MOSIAH No. 2, missionary, ca. 91 BC (Mosiah 27:34; Alma 31:32) |
2. | City, perhaps named from No. 1 (Alma 51:26) |
The name resembles biblical PNs with the element nēr, e.g., Abner, “the [divine] father is light” (see standard biblical commentaries for other examples). OMNER could mean “the [divine] kinsman is light” (JH), from ʿmm, “people, kinsman.” In the singular, “people, kinsman,” in Hebrew is ʿam. The GN probably was taken from the PN.
