Dodanim
the name means a plural of uncertain derivation Strong's Lexicon
The Dodanim were descendants of Javan, son of Japheth, mentioned in the Table of Nations.
From Easton's Bible Dictionary
Leaders, a race descended from Javan (Gen. 10:4). They are known in profane history as the Dardani, originally inhabiting Illyricum. They were a semi-Pelasgic race, and in the ethnographical table (Gen. 10) they are grouped with the Chittim (q.v.). In 1 Chr. 1:7, they are called Rodanim. The LXX. and the Samaritan Version also read Rhodii, whence some have concluded that the Rhodians, the inhabitants of the island of Rhodes, are meant.
