Teman (Biblical Hebrew: תֵּימָן, romanized: Tēmān, lit. 'South') was the name of an Edomite clan and of its eponym, according to the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 36:11–43. The term means "south" and was later applied to Yemen due to its location at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, so Yemenite Jews are called Temanim in Modern Hebrew.
