Everything about Ashkenaz totally explained
Ashkenaz is
Gomer's first son, brother of
Riphath, and
Togarmah (Gen. 10:3, 1 Chronicles 1:6) and is believed by some to be the ancestor of the
Germanic,
Scandinavian and
Russian peoples. One reason people believe this is that Ashkenaz's father is
Gomer who is associated with the
Frank and
Germanic tribes due to his name.
Ashkenazi Jews, also known as Ashkenazic Jews or Ashkenazim (Standard Hebrew: sing. אַשְׁכֲּנָזִי, pl. אַשְׁכֲּנָזִים; pronounced sing. [ˌaʃkəˈnazi] pl. [ˌaʃkəˈnazim], not with [ʦ] as in Tzar; also יְהוּדֵי אַשְׁכֲּנָז Yehudei Ashkenaz, "the Jews of Ashkenaz"), are descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the
Rhineland, "Ashkenaz" being the
Medieval Hebrew name for Germany.
Other accounts have Ashkenaz being the ancestor of the
Scythians.
