magog
   region of gog, the second of the "sons" of japheth gen. 10:2; 1
   chr. 1:5. in ezekiel 38:2; 39:6 it is the name of a nation,
   probably some scythian or tartar tribe descended from japheth.
   they are described as skilled horsemen, and expert in the use of
   the bow. the latin father jerome says that this word denotes
   "scythian nations, fierce and innumerable, who live beyond the
   caucasus and the lake maeotis, and near the caspian sea, and
   spread out even onward to india." perhaps the name "represents
   the assyrian mat gugi, or 'country of gugu,' the gyges of the
   greeks" sayce's races, etc..
