Medan Medan

Medan is a son of Abraham with Keturah.

The name Medan comes from the verb din (din 426) meaning to judge, contend, plead. The derivative madon (madon 426c) means strife, contention. The name Medan differs only slightly from the name of his brother Midian.

Medan means Strife (Jones) or Judgement (NOBSE).
