Etymology

The element antum occurs in several Book of Mormon names, but remains unexplained. Perhaps in this name it is not a separate element, but the name rather consists of sean and the ending tum. Possible Semitic roots would include š/ś/sʿn š/ś/sʾn.

Other suggestions include EGYPTIAN prefix s3, “son” (JAT) and cognate of EGYPTIAN Hittite Sandon, Sandas (LID, 33, ABM, 238).

Cf. Book of Mormon ANTUM, SEEZORAM, et al., TEANCUM
