From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Mede
     (Heb. Madai), a Median or inhabitant of Media (Dan. 11:1). In
     Gen. 10:2 the Hebrew word occurs in the list of the sons of
     Japheth. But probably this is an ethnic and not a personal name,
     and denotes simply the Medes as descended from Japheth.
