Both Testaments
Javan
Javan is the son of Japheth and the biblical ancestor of the Ionian Greeks and related Mediterranean peoples.
Javan appears in the Table of Nations as the fourth son of Japheth, representing the progenitor of the Greek-speaking peoples. His descendants are mentioned in prophetic literature as distant maritime nations involved in trade and future conflict. The name serves as a recurring biblical designation for the Greek world, linking the post-Flood genealogies to the later expansion of Hellenistic influence.
