International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ki'-na (qinah): An unidentified town on the southern boundary of Judah, toward Edom (Josh 15:22). The word qinah means "elegy," "dirge," "lament for the dead." The name, however, may have been derived from the Kenites, qeniy, who had settlements in the South (1 Sam 27:10, etc.).
