About the name Ether
Ether is a Hebrew place name, traditionally interpreted as abundance, though some read it as plenty or answered prayer. In the Book of Joshua it is the name of a town in the territory of Judah, later assigned to the tribe of Simeon. As a personal name it is known mainly from the Book of Mormon, where Ether is the last prophet of the Jaredites and the Book of Ether records his account of that people. For this reason the name is used chiefly among Latter-day Saints. It is unrelated to the English word ether, which comes from the Greek for upper air.
