Alemeth is Hebrew in Origin.

Alemeth is a rare Hebrew biblical name (Hebrew עַלְמֶת, ‘Almet), borne by a Benjaminite in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles and used as the name of a Levitical town in Benjamin (1 Chr 6:60), corresponding to Almon in Joshua 21:18. The form likely reflects dialectal or scribal variation between Alemeth and Almon in parallel lists. As a personal name it appears in the family line associated with King Saul, underscoring its tribal setting; as a place-name it marks a priestly settlement near Anathoth.

Derived from the Semitic root ‘-l-m, it is most often interpreted as “concealment, hidden,” though some connect it with ‘elem/‘almah, “youth; maiden,” yielding senses like “youthful.” Modern usage is very uncommon but feasible; it can read as gender-neutral. Variants and related forms include Almon (place-name counterpart), Almet/Alemet in transliteration, and the musical term Alamoth is related in root only. Possible nicknames: Ale, Lem, Meth, Lemmy.
