Canaan, the son of Ham, was the father of Sidon, Heth, and other Canaanite tribes.
From Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1.) The fourth son of Ham (Gen. 10:6). His descendants were under a curse in consequence of the transgression of his father (9:22-27). His eldest son, Zidon, was the father of the Sidonians and Phoenicians. He had eleven sons, who were the founders of as many tribes (10:15-18).
