And Dannah,.... Dannah is not mentioned elsewhere,and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir; Kirjathsannah had three names, this and Debir, and Kirjathsepher; See Gill on "Jos 15:15"; all which are of much the same signification; for "Sanna" with the Arabs , and so with the Phoenicians, signifies law, doctrine, and manner of life; and with the Mahometans the secondary law to the Koran, and answers to the Jewish Misnah; and the Greek version interprets this name "the city of letters".
