Usage: Dodanim refers to a people or nation mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible. It is traditionally understood to be a group descended from Javan, one of the sons of Japheth, who was a son of Noah. The name Dodanim is often associated with the inhabitants of a region in the ancient world, possibly linked to the area of the Aegean Sea or the islands therein.
