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.
