Etymology
According to Todd Parker , the name "Abinadi" ( Mosiah 11:20 ) appears to be symbolic. In Hebrew, ab means "father," abi means "my father," and nadi is "present with you," so the name Abinadi may reflect his mission; it may mean something like "my father is present with you." In the Book of Mormon account, the alleged reason for killing him was because Abinadi claimed that God would come down and would be with man (see Mosiah 15:1–7 ). That was the charge of blasphemy they finally used to put him to death ( Mosiah 17:8 ).
