Addan
Proper name, referring to a geographic location listed as one of the places from which returning exiles could not demonstrate their ancestry as Israelite. The term is best understood as a toponym rather than a common noun, and it designates a particular place, likely a settlement. Its semantic range in the Hebrew Bible does not extend beyond its use as a proper name.
