AMMARON

AMMARON

Lehite PN

1.

Historian, ca. 306 AD (4 Nephi 1:47; Mormon 4:23)

Ammaron could be a variant of Amaron (see above). However, if the double m is to be taken seriously, then ʿm ʾrwn, “people of the ark,” is not impossible (JH), but hardly plausible.

Ammaron is also spelled Amoron (OM Alma 54:1) and Ammoron (OM and PM Alma 54:16, 23; 55:1–2; 56:18, 20; 57:1, 3; 59:7).

Notes It is interesting that both Amaron and Ammaron were Nephite scribes/historians, though separated in time by many centuries (JAT).
