Etymology 2
[edit]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
[edit]דָּן • (dan) m
- (biblical) Dan (the fifth son of Jacob and Bilhah (who was Rachel's handmaid))
