Dishan
Dîyshân is a proper name designating an individual among the lineages of Edom, specifically listed as a descendant of Seir the Horite in Edomite genealogy. The term is used exclusively as a personal name within genealogical contexts of the Hebrew Bible. While close in form to דִּישׁוֹן (Dishon), Dîyshân (דִּישָׁן) should be distinguished as a separate individual within the Edomite ancestral lists.
