Angola

Lehite GN Nephite city (Mormon 2:4)

Brief Etymology: the Lehite GN ANGOLA may be from Hebrew elements meaning "emigration, exile, spring," "revelation, spring," or "rock spring."

ANGOLA is the name of a Nephite city. if the name is from a Hebrew root, it may be a combination of words, since the Hebrew letter nun in contact with any other consonant within a word would make it subject to “regressive/anticipatory assimilation” (i.e., ng or gn becomes gg). Thus, the name may derive from the Hebrew ‘ayn, “spring, well,” and a word from the Hebrew/Semitic root √glh, “to uncover, reveal; to emigrate, to into exile,” or gll, with the basic meaning of “to roll, roll away (a rock or stone).” A combination of ‘ayn plus a form of either of the roots may generate the names “rock spring,” “emigration, exile spring.” An Egyptian etymology is also possible, as if one from an indigenous language.
