Diklah Diklah

Diklah is a son of Joktan.

The name Diklah may come from the unused root dql, which Fuerst and BDB reveal to mean to rock to and fro (in the air), to wave. The word is not used in the Bible but in post-Biblical Hebrew as well as in the cognate languages, the similar derivative is used to mean palm or date tree.
NOBSE reads Palm Tree. BDB reads Date-Tree, Palm.

Also note the similarity between this name and Hiddakel, Hiddakel.
