Ashkenaz
Easton's Bible Dictionary
One of the three sons of Gomer (Gen 10:3), and founder of one of the tribes of the Japhetic race. They are mentioned in connection with Minni and Ararat, and hence their original seat must have been in Armenia (Jer 51:27), probably near the Black Sea, which, from their founder, was first called Axenus, and afterwards the Euxine.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ash'-ke-naz ('ashkenaz): The name occurs in Gen 10:3; Gen 10:1, in the list of the sons of Japheth as a son of Gomer. See Table of Nations. It occurs also in Jer 51:27 (the King James Version "Ashchenaz") in connection with the kingdoms of Ararat and Minni, which suggests a location about Armenia.
