Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an uncertain origin.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tiras, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of genealogies and nations can be found in various Greek terms related to lineage and peoples in the New Testament. Usage: The name Tiras appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the Table of Nations, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons after the flood. Context: Tiras is mentioned in the genealogical lists found in Genesis 10:2 and 1 Chronicles 1:5. In these passages, Tiras is listed as one of the sons of Japheth, who was one of the three sons of Noah. The descendants of Japheth are traditionally associated with the peoples of the maritime regions and the isles. Tiras is often linked to the Thracians, an ancient group of tribes that inhabited parts of Eastern Europe, particularly in the region that is now modern-day Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. The identification of Tiras with the Thracians is based on historical and linguistic studies, although the exact connection remains a subject of scholarly debate. The mention of Tiras in the Table of Nations serves to illustrate the spread of humanity and the diversity of nations that arose from Noah's descendants after the flood.
