Teymani
the Temanites
Ethnonym designating an inhabitant of, or individual descended from, Teman — specifically a Temanite. The term is used as a proper gentilic (regional or clan identity) rather than a common noun. In narrative contexts, it most often denotes an individual associated with the clan or region of Teman, located in Edom, reflecting both geographic and ancestral connections. Occasionally, the term is used as a marker of origin in lists or genealogies, or to identify cultural or regional association.
