Etymology

No etymology is suggested. None of the suggestions below appear promising.

East Aramaic mr’n, “our land” (RFS). Akkadian *mu-iru, “leader” (RFS). Akkadian kumru, “priest, eunuch-priest” = biblical Hebrew kōmer (RFS). Common Semitic rām, “exalted.”

Even less likely is Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 69, Aramaic, mara, “lord” or “master,” or Hebrew mōreh, “teacher.” cume, “to stand up,” and r, “being, making,” ignoring of the n, r is not Semitic and thus would not be used within a Semitic sentence name. In addition, cume is an unrecognizable form; the root is qūm, and does mean *“to stand up.” but an infinitive does not fit. The perfect qām, the imperfect *yaqōm, and the participle qōm and the imperitive *qūm do not provide the solution unless the -er can be explained.

This name is not found in the Book of Mormon but is mentioned as the name of the “brother of JARED” in George Reynolds, Era 8, 705 and Alma P. Burton, Discourses of Joseph Smith (1956), p. 18. The full name is MAHONRI MORIANCUMER. For the latter as a GN in the Book of Mormon see the same.

Cf. Book of Mormon MAHONRI, MORIANTON, MORIANTUM, CORIANTUM, et al.
