Ashkenaz«/b» is «u»Gomer «/u»'s first son, brother of «u»Riphath «/u», and «u»Togarmah «/u» (Gen. 10:3, 1 Chronicles 1:6) and is believed by some to be the ancestor of the «u»Germanic «/u», «u»Scandinavian «/u» and «u»Slavic peoples «/u». One reason people believe this is that Ashkenaz's father is «u»Gomer «/u» who is associated with the «u»Frank «/u» and «u»Germanic «/u» tribes due to his name.[«u»«i»citation needed «/u»«/i»] Another reason is that the name of the mythological founder of the Germans and Scandinavians is very similar to Ashkenaz: «u»Aschanes «/u» or «u»Askanius «/u» (German) and «u»Ask «/u» (Scandinavian).
«u»Ashkenazi Jews «/u», also known as Ashkenazic Jews or Ashkenazim (Standard Hebrew: sing. , pronounced «u»[?a?k?'nazi] «/u», pl. «u» [?a?k?'nazim] «/u», not with the [ts] of «i»Tzar«/i»; also àÇùÀÑëÂÌðÈæ Yehudei Ashkenaz, "the Jews of Ashkenaz"), are descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the «u»Rhineland «/u», "Ashkenaz" being the «u»Medieval Hebrew «/u» name for Germany. Ashkenaz is also regarded as the father of the «u»Scythians «/u», «u»Sarmatians «/u», and «u»Aryans «/u», due largely to the use of the name "Ashkuz" for the Scythians in Assyrian inscriptions.

«u»«/b»Ashkenaz «/u», son of Gomer. It has been conjectured that this name arose from a misprint in Hebrew for "Ashkuz", by reading a «u»«i»nun «/u»«/i» for a «u»vav «/u». «i»Ashkuz«/i» and «i»Ishkuz«/i» were names used for the «u»Scythians«/u», who first appear in Assyrian records in the late 8th century in the Caucasus region, and at times occupied vast areas of Europe and Asia. Additionally, in Medieval «u»Hebrew «/u», Germany is known as «i»Ashkenaz«/i», and is the origin of the term «i»Ashkenazic Jews«/i».
