Etymology 2

Traditionally taken to be from דָּן (dan, “Dan (one of the sons of Jacob in the Bible)”), whose name perhaps derived from the same root ד־ו־ן‎ (d-w-n) as above, but modern scholars frequently view this figure as an after-the-fact eponym and connect the tribal name to other words and names, such as Denyen.

Proper noun

דָּן • (dan)

  1. Dan (one of the Israelite tribes).
  2. Dan (the region of Ancient Israel occupied by this tribe).
