Chittim or Kittim (kit'tîm). Numbers 24:24, Isaiah 23:1, Isaiah 23:12, Jeremiah 2:10, Ezekiel 27:6, Daniel 11:30. R. V. always reads Kittim. In these passages the "Isles," "ships," "products," and "people"of Kittim are mentioned or alluded to; hence the name has generally been supposed to mean the island of Cyprus, though Kitto thinks it a general term applied to islands and coasts west of Palestine.
