Havvoth-Jair: tent villages of Jair in Gilead
This proper name refers to a cluster of tent villages in Gilead associated with Jair, a descendant of Manasseh. The name literally means 'tent-villages of Jair.' These settlements were established when Jair conquered certain towns in the region of Bashan and Gilead, naming them after himself. The term appears primarily in territorial descriptions of the Transjordan region, marking a significant boundary point in Israel's early settlement period.
