Revision as of 13:28, 27 July 2016

Lehite PN 1. GIDANAH, Nephite son of ISHMAEL, and father of AMULEK, who lived ca. 82 BC (Alma 10:2 Pms has GIDANAH, but 1830-2013 has GIDDONAH).[1]
2. GIDDONAH, High priest, ca. 75 BC (Alma 30:23)

Etymology

See the discussion of GID. The last part of the name, -ONAH, remains unexplained. See also the discussion under GIDDIANHI.

GIDGIDDONI and GIDGIDDONAH may somehow be derived from or related to biblical Gidgad/Gudgodah (Judges 20:45, Deuteronomy 10:7), and perhaps to Hor-hagidgad “Hollow of Gidgad” (Numbers 33:32-33), which may be the same location as Arabic Wadi Ghadhaghedh.[2]

Nibley suggests deriving it from the EGYPTIAN name for SIDON, dydwn3.[3]

Also possible is the root ǵdn > ʿdn, “luxury” (JH).

See GID, GIDGIDDONAH, GIDDIANHI, GIDGIDDONI, SIDON, ZORAM.
