Meaning & History
From the Hebrew abi "my father" and nadi "present with you," meaning "my father is present with you." In The Book of Mormon, Abinadi is a prophet who preaches to a wicked king and his corrupt priests that God will come down and be with man, among other messages. For refusing to deny that message, the king has him burned at the stake. One of the corrupt priests, Alma, heeds his teachings and eventually becomes a prophet himself.
