What is the meaning and significance of the name Seezoram?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The judge’s name was Seezoram, and we had a Zeezrom before. That is the Egyptian word zsr, a very popular name, founded the third dynasty of Egypt. The name means holy, sacred. Our word Deseret comes from that. The land of Egypt, ‘the holy land, the red land,’ is called Deseret. And, of course, the symbol of the lowland is the bee. This is the Deseret name, the Zeezrom name. It pops up throughout the Book of Mormon” (Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 3:262).
