Meaning & History
Variant of Amminadab. According to the Book of Mormon this was the name of a Nephite who fell away from the church and became associated with the Lamanites. In the Book of Helaman, after Nephi and his brother Lehi go to the land of Zarahemla to preach the Gospel to the Lamanites, they are imprisoned by the Lamanites and kept under guard. After a heavenly incident, Aminadab clarifies to the surrounding Lamanite prison guards that Nephi and Lehi are conversing with angels.
