Mede
Hebrew: מָדַי —transliteration: Madai or Maday —meaning: an inhabitant of Media
A Mede is a Median or an inhabitant of Media (Dan. 11:1).
In Genesis 10:2 the Hebrew word occurs in the list of the sons of Japheth. But probably this is an ethnic and not a personal name, and denotes simply the Medes as descended from Japheth.
