Chiti
the Hittite
A member of the people known as the Hittites (Hebrew: חִתִּי), identified in the Hebrew Bible as a Canaanite group inhabiting the land prior to and during the period of Israelite settlement. The term typically refers to individuals belonging to this people group, but in some genealogical contexts may indicate ethnic or familial descent traced back to an ancestor named Heth. In narratives, the word designates both a people group as a whole and specific individuals identified as Hittites.
