Dishon or Dishan—two Horite clan chiefs descended from Seir in Edom's genealogies (Gen 36; 1 Chr 1).
A proper name belonging to two distinct individuals in the Edomite genealogies of Genesis 36 and 1 Chronicles 1. The first Dishon is a son of Seir the Horite, listed among the chiefs of the land before Esau's descendants displaced them. The second is a grandson of Seir through Anah, appearing with slight spelling variation as Dishan in 1 Chronicles 1:42. The name likely derives from a root meaning 'threshing' or a species of gazelle, fitting the pastoral world of Seir's territory in the Transjordan highlands.

1. Dishon — Dishon, a Horite personal name borne by two related figures in the Edomite genealogies. The primary Dishon is a son of Seir the Horite (Gen 36:21; 1 Chr 1:38), listed among the original clan chiefs of the land of Edom. A second Dishon is a son of Anah and grandson of Seir (Gen 36:25, 30; 1 Chr 1:41). The transliteration is stable across languages—Spanish 'Dison,' French and English 'Dishon,' German 'Dischon'—with only minor phonological adaptation. 6×

2. Dishan — Dishan, a variant form of the same Horite name appearing in 1 Chronicles 1:42, where the Chronicler lists the sons of this clan chief. BDB distinguishes the spelling with a final nun (Dishan) from the more common Dishon, though they refer to the same genealogical figure. English 'Dishan' and Spanish 'Disan' preserve this distinction in transliteration. 1×
