Names In The Bom And Their Meanings
One of my favorite things to talk about is the many names in the Book of Mormon and their meanings. For example: Nephi has many meanings, good, goodly, goodness. What names in the Book of Mormon do we know the meaning of. I would like to keep it in the realm of names that are strictly in the BoM. If possible put the source of where you got the info.

| The name Nehem/Nahom ("nhm"--which can also be rendered "Nihm") is a rare place name--with the only known site in the Arabian peninsula being at a place consistent with the Book of Mormon account. Along with detailed documentation and references, the Astons' book includes a photograph of the 1976 Royal Geographical Society map--apparently from the University of Sana'a in Yemen--showing Nehem as a significant burial site in the right place to agree with the Book of Mormon description of Nahom. The existence of this site was not known to LDS scholars until a few years ago and certainly could not have been known to Joseph Smith. (By the way, the Semitic name Nahom can refer to mourning and consolation, and may also refer to groaning and complaining, giving it special significance in Nephi's account. See 1 Nephi 16:35.) |
