ZENEPHI

Lehite PN		Apparently a renegade general, ca. 400 AD (Moroni 9:16)

Possibly Egyptian z3-nfy, “son of Nephi/the chief,” from z3 (=sa) + nfy (q.v.)  (RFS).

Possibly Hebrew *s.enefî, “tiaraed, crowned, enwrapped (with turban),” nisbe from s.a-nîf, “tiara, turban”  (RFS).

Cf. Book of Mormon Nephi, LehiNephi, Nephihah, et al., also Zeniff
