Ashkenaz in 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.
