Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the Bible, Ashkenaz is Gomer's first son, brother of Riphath and Togarmah (Gen. 10:3, 1 Chronicles 1:6), thereby a Japhetic descendant of Noah. A kingdom of Ashkenaz is called together with Ararat and Minni against Babylon (Jer. 51:27). There is a theory of Isaac Asimov that biblical Askhenaz ( ) arose from Ashk z ( ) (= the Scythians) by an old misreading of (nun) for (vav). Ashkenaz is often identified with the Scythians and Sarmatians, due in part to the use of the name "Ashkuz" (Saka) for the Scythians in Assyrian Akkadian inscriptions. It may also refer to the Phrygians, who according to Homer's Iliad settled around Lake Ascania. In rabbinic literature, Ashkenaz is believed to be the ancestor of the Germanic people, probably due to the similarity of the names Gomer with German, and Ashkenaz with Aschanes (Askanius), a mythological progenitor ofthe Saxons. For this reason, Ashkenaz is the Medieval Hebrew name for Germany.
