Yavan : ウィキペディア英語版
Javan

Javan (Hebrew יָוָן, Standard Hebrew ''Yavan'', Tiberian Hebrew ''Yāwān'') was the fourth son of Noah's son Japheth according to the "Table of Nations" (Genesis chapter 10) in the Hebrew Bible. Flavius Josephus states the traditional belief that this individual was the ancestor of the Greek people.
Also serving as the Hebrew name for Greece or Greeks in general, יָוָן ''Yavan'' or ''Yāwān'' has long been considered cognate with the name of the eastern Greeks, the Ionians (Greek Ἴωνες ''Iōnes'', Homeric Greek Ἰάονες ''Iáones''; earlier
*
Ιαϝονες ''Iawones'').〔The /v/ of Hebrew ''yavan'' supports the generally accepted reconstruction of the early form of the name of the Ionians. See: ''(Jewish Language Review )'', Volume 3, Association for the Study of Jewish Languages, 1983, p. 89.〕 The Greek race has been known by cognate names throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, Near East and beyond—even in Sanskrit ( ''yavana''). In Greek mythology, the eponymous forefather of the Ionians is similarly called Ion, a son of Apollo. The opinion that Javan is synonymous with Greek Ion and thus fathered the Ionians is common to numerous writers of the early modern period including Sir Walter Raleigh, Samuel Bochart, John Mill and Jonathan Edwards, and is still frequently encountered today.
Javan is also found in apocalyptic literature in the Book of Daniel, 8:21-22 and 11:2, in reference to the King of Greece (יון)—most commonly interpreted as a reference to Alexander the Great.〔See the classic reference commentary of Matthew Henry: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/henry/mhc4.Dan.ix.html〕
While Javan is generally associated with the ancient Greeks and Greece (cf. Gen. 10:2, Dan. 8:21, Zech. 9:13, etc.), his sons (as listed in Genesis 10) have usually been associated with locations in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia: Elishah (modern Cyprus), Tarshish (Tarsus in Cilicia, but after 1646 often identified with Tartessus in Spain), Kittim (modern Cyprus), and Dodanim (alt. 1 Chron. 1:7 'Rodanim,' the island of Rhodes, west of modern Turkey between Cyprus and the mainland of Greece).〔Anson F.
