Etymology

No etymology is suggested.

If Semitic languages can be appealed to for JAREDITE etymologies, then it may be that this name means “(my) light is Jehovah,” from ʾōr(ī), “(my) light,” and from the tetragrammaton, if -ihah is the theophoric element “Yahweh/Jehovah” (RFS; see also Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 116). The pattern would be the same as Book of Mormon ONIHAH. For similar biblical PNs see ʾûrîyāh (2 Samuel 11:3; Isaiah 8:2), ʾûrīyāhū (Jeremiah 26:20), “(my) light is Jehovah,” and ʾûrī ʾēl (1 Chronicles 15:5, 11; 2 Chronicles 13:2), “(my) light is El.” We also have West Semitic urriia (R. Zadok, BASOR 231:73) (RFS).
