Jaredite PN 1. JAREDITE ruler (Ether 1:26, 27; 9:25 (x2) )
2. JAREDITE ruler (Ether 1:12, 13; 10:31, 32 (x2), 33, 34; 11:1, 2, 3)

Etymology

Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.

If JAREDITE names can be traced to Semitic roots, the JAREDITE PN COM may be derived from the Semitic root qūm, "to arise, stand up" that Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, 6:46, observes may be "applied to a hill, a height;" cf. the Arabic kom, "hill, rubble heap, tell."
