Etymology
Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.
No etymology is suggested. A connection with the biblical unit of dry measure is implausible.
Unlikely are all Semitic derivations, such as ʾmr, “to speak.”
Cf. Book of Mormon EMER
