The name of a biblical man and two places...
1. The fourth "son" of Japheth (Gen. 10:2), whose descendants settled in Greece, i.e., Ionia, which bears the name of Javan in Hebrew. Alexander the Great is called the "king of Javan" (rendered "Grecia," Dan. 8:21; 10:20; compare 11:2; Zech. 9:13). This word was universally used by the nations of the East as the generic name of the Greek race.
2. A town or district of Arabia Felix, from which the Syrians obtained iron, cassia, and calamus (Ezek. 27:19).

The Biblical character Javan (Hebrew ×Ö¸×Ö¸×, Standard Hebrew Yavan, Tiberian Hebrew YÄwÄn) was the fourth son of Noah's third son Japheth. He was believed to have been the progenitor of the Greeks through his sons Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
The Hebrew name of Greece, Yavan or (Tiberian) YÄwÄn (×Ö¸×Ö¸×), is originally the name of the eastern Greeks, the Ionians (Greek IÅnes, earlier Ia(w)ones); the Greeks are called by similar names in the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean. In Greek mythology, the mythological forefather of the Ionians is called Ion, a son of Apollo.
