Ashkenash Ashkenash

Ashkenash is the son of Gomer, son of Japheth, son of Noah.

The name Ashkenash can be seen as to consist of three parts:
1) esh (`esh 172) meaning fire. This word is poetically charged with the meaning of life by God, or life by God provided (Gen 3:24; Gen 15:17; Ex 3:2).
2) ke (The particle ke 937) meaning as, like.
3) naza (naza 1335 & 1336). Naza (1335) means sprinkle or slight spatter, referring to cleansing of sin. Naza (1336) means leap up or leap upon.

Whether intentional or not, for a Hebrew audience the name Askenash would have sounded as Fire Like Sprinkles.
