Mede
First appears at Daniel 11:1
First named in Scripture at Daniel 11:1 — read the chapter.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
(Hebrews Madai), a Median or inhabitant of Media (Daniel 11:1). In Genesis 10:2 the Hebrew word occurs in the list of the sons of Japheth. But probably this is an ethnic and not a personal name, and denotes simply the Medes as descended from Japheth.
