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.

Cf. the biblical Hebrew place-name Etham in Exodus 13:20 and Numbers 33:6-8 (JAT).

Cf. Book of Mormon ETHER

It is doubtful that it is Semitic for “their strength” (Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI:46).
