MEDAN mē’ dăn (מְדָ֖ן, strife). The third son of Abraham and Keturah and the founder of an Arabian tribe (Gen 25:2; 1 Chron 1:32). Since the name is mentioned just before Midian, it may be a doublet for it. It is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible or in any extra-Biblical document, and therefore remains unidentified.
