The modern Danish people (Danskere) is made up of the proper Danes (Daner) on the numerous islands, and the Jutes (Jyder) on the Jutland peninsula, if recent immigrants, etc., are ignored. The original Danes were a Nordic tribe, while the original Jutes were a Germanic tribe. The Danes are of Dan, and the Jutes are of Judah and Dan.
The Tribe of Dan was represented by a snake or by a lion. Other accepted symbols of Dan were a pair of scales, an eagle, and a dragon. Many members of Dan settled in Denmark, in Ireland, in Wales, England, and the U.S.A. where 40-50 million people have Irish ancestry.
Nevertheless, most of the Danes of Denmark pertain to Dan. We also find descendants of Dan in northeast England, in southwest and west Britain, and in Ireland. In Biblical times there were two main centers of Dan, one on the coast by Jaffo (Joppa) and the other in the Galilee as well as other enclaves of Dan further north.
