Etymology

The etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain speculative and it is unclear whether the JAREDITE were Mesopotamian in origin. However, it is possible that the name may be related to the Biblical Heth, the son of Canaan, the son of Canaan, the son of Ham, the son of the patriarch Noah (Gen 10:15) (cf. also the name for the biblical Hittites ḫty Hittite HALOT, the Akkadian ḫattu (Hittite), and the name in cuneiform texts for NW Syria).
