Alameth is in Origin.

Alameth is a rare biblical name of Hebrew origin, most commonly transliterated as Alemeth (Hebrew ʿAlemeth). It derives from the Semitic root ʿ‑l‑m, associated with concealment and youth; hence the name is interpreted as “hidden, concealment” or “youthfulness,” and is sometimes glossed “covering.” Pronounced AH-lə-meth in English, it carries an austere, antique cadence with the familiar nickname Al.

In the Hebrew Bible it appears both as a personal name - one of the Benjaminites listed in 1 Chronicles 7:8 - and as a Levitical town in the territory of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 6:60), elsewhere called Almon (Joshua 21:18). Variants and related forms include Alemeth, Alameth, Almon (place form), and the musically marked Alamoth is a separate term. Usage as a given name is exceedingly uncommon today, though it appeals to parents seeking an obscure scriptural choice. Historically masculine in context, it can read as unisex in contemporary English.
