Nephi

2 Maccabees 1, Apocrypha, King James Bible: 1

34 Then the king, inclosing the place, made it holy, after he had tried the matter.

35 And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on those whom he would gratify.

36 And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

2 Nephi 5:8, The Book of Mormon: 2

8 And my people would that we should call the name of the place Nephi; wherefore, we did call it Nephi.
