Morphological NotesHebrew proper noun (masculine singular); no pronominal suffix; used for both the individual (son of Ham) and the land/people associated with him.
Rendering RationaleThe name כְּנַעַן (Kᵉnaʿan) is a masculine singular proper noun derived from the root כנע, meaning "to be humbled" or "subdued." Rendering it as "Subdued-One" preserves both the singular masculine form and the underlying root sense, while recognizing it as a personal and territorial name.
