Ashkenaz

a fire that spreads

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Ashkenaz

(spreading fire), one of the three sons of Gomer, son of Japhet. (Genesis 10:3) We may probably recognize the tribe of Ashkenaz on the northern shore of Asia Minor in the name of Lake Ascanius, and in Europe in the name Scandia, Scandinavia . Knobel considers that Ashkenaz is to be identified with the German race.

ATS Bible Dictionary
Ashkenaz

A son of Gomer and grandson of Japheth, Genesis 10:3. The region people by his descendants is named in Jeremiah 51:27 with Minni and Ararat, provinces of Armenia. It probably lay towards the Black Sea.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
One of the three sons of Gomer (Genesis 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 (Jeremiah 51:27), probably near the Black Sea, which, from their founder, was first called Axenus, and afterwards the Euxine.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ASHKENAZ

ash'-ke-naz ('ashkenaz): The name occurs in Genesis 10:3 1 Chronicles 16, in the list of the sons of Japheth as a son of Gomer. See TABLE OF NATIONS. It occurs also in Jeremiah 51:27 (the King James Version "Ashchenaz") in connection with the kingdoms of Ararat and Minni, which suggests a location about Armenia.
