Etymology

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

The biblical Hebrew PN HETH, son of Canaan, is the most likely source for an etymology.[1] See the standard biblical commentaries. Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 40, suggests “terror.”

Variants

Deseret Alphabet: 𐐐𐐇𐐛 (hɛθ)

Notes


  1. Note that HETH is usually given as the biblical source for the biblical Hittites, ḫattū in Akkadian, and the name in cuneiform sources for NW Syria (RFS).
