Etymology

This name is not immediately suggestive of an etymology. Perhaps something like the root suggested for LAMAN, but with 1c.s. pronominal suffix or a gentilic ending. However, neither ending would cause the vowel to change from a to o.

Reynolds & Sjodahl first connected LAMONI to LAMAN, though without explaining how the two were related (R&S, 26). The connection was made again, but this time the gentilic Δ« ending was suggested (JAT & RFS), similar to the gentilic β€œISRAELITE.”

Much less likely is an archaic form of the Hebrew for β€œto me,” β€œfor me,” β€œmine.” This would also be unlikely as a name (JH).
