Etymology

This name is not immediately suggestive of an etymology. Perhaps something like the root suggested for LAMAN, but with 1c.s. pronominal suffix or a gentilic ending. However, neither ending would cause the vowel to change from a to o.

Reynolds & Sjodahl first connected LAMONI to LAMAN, though without explaining how the two were related (R&S, 26). The connection was made again, but this time the gentilic ī ending was suggested (JAT & RFS), similar to the gentilic “ISRAELITE.”

Much less likely is an archaic form of the HEBREW for “to me,” “for me,” “mine.” This would also be unlikely as a name (JH).
