Togarmah appears in genealogical records as a descendant of Noah through Japheth and Gomer (Genesis 10:3; 1 Chronicles 1:6). Historically, Togarmah likely refers to a region in ancient Anatolia. The name appears in biblical prophecy concerning end-times events and ancient trade networks.
Key Scriptures

"Gomer and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all his hordes—many peoples are with you" (Ezekiel 38:6, ESV). "The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah" (Genesis 10:3, ESV).
