Meaning & History

This is a word from the Book of Mormon meaning "honeybee" in the language of the Jaredites. It was used as a name for the Utah territory before it became an American state (now officially nicknamed the Beehive State as a symbol of cooperation and industry). It is occasionally used as a feminine given name, perhaps due to its similarity to Desiree.
