Tiras (son of Japheth; possibly Tyrrhenians/Etruscans)
Tiras appears in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:2, 1 Chronicles 1:5) as a son of Japheth, Noah's son. Scholars have proposed identification with the Tyrrhenians (Etruscans) or other Aegean/Mediterranean peoples. Egyptian texts mention 'Turusa' as sea peoples, possibly related. The name represents an ethnic group descended from Japheth, part of the post-flood dispersion of nations. Like other Table of Nations entries, Tiras functions both as a personal name (the ancestor) and as a collective designation (the people group descended from him).
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The name appears in parallel genealogical texts (Genesis 10, 1 Chronicles 1) with the typical conjunction 'and Tiras,' listing him among Japheth's seven sons. All translations transliterate consistently: Spanish 'Tiras/Tirás,' French 'Tiras,' German 'Tiras.' The ancient versions (LXX Theiras) similarly preserve the name, recognizing it as representing a nation-group whose exact historical identification, while debated, likely points to Aegean or western Mediterranean peoples. 2×
