Gomer in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE
go'-mer (gomer): Given in Gen 10:2 f; 1 Ch 1:5 f as a son of
Japheth. The name evidently designates the people called
Gimirra by the Assyrians, Kimmerians by the Greeks. They were
a barbaric horde of Aryans who in the 7th century BC left
their abode in what is now Southern Russia and poured. through
the Caucasus into Western Asia, causing serious trouble to the
Assyrians and other nations. One division moved eastward
toward Media, another westward, where they conquered
Cappadocia and made it their special abode. They fought also
in other parts of Asia Minor, conquering some portions. The
Armenian name for Cappadocia, Gamir, has come from this
people. In Ezek 38:6 Gomer is mentioned as one of the northern
nations.
