Etymology

Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.

No etymology is suggested. A connection with the biblical unit of dry measure is implausible.

Unlikely are all Semitic derivations, such as ʾmr, “to speak.”

Cf. Book of Mormon EMER
