Ammonihah

Origin

Ammonihah is a biblical name derived from the Book of Mormon, specifically from the text of the Book of Mormon itself. The name originates from ancient Semitic roots, where 'Ammon' could be associated with 'source of waters' or a deity, and 'ihah' is a Hebrew word meaning 'to (them)', thus signifying 'probably associated with a biblical or religious context.' This name does not have traditional usage outside religious or literary references and is primarily found in religious texts used by Mormon communities.

Meaning

In the context of the Book of Mormon, Ammonihah signifies a 'place of the water of the Ammon' or 'people of Ammon,' symbolising a community or locale with historical and spiritual significance within the narrative. In Australian English contexts, it holds religious and literary connotations rather than literal meaning; it evokes biblical and scriptural imagery.

Pronunciation

/æm.ə.naɪ.hə/ (Australian English pronunciation, with emphasis on the second syllable) /æm-uh-NY-huh/ for anglicised ease, noting the classical pronunciation.
