| 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.
