Javan

Or ION, (for the Hebrew word, differently pointed, forms both names,) was the fourth son of Japheth, and the father of all those nations which were included under the name of Grecians, or Ionians, as they were invariably called in the east. Javan had four sons, by whom the different portions of Greece Proper were peopled: Elisha, Tharsis, Chittim, and Dodanim. Javan is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “deceiver; one who makes sad.” This unified study connects 6 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
