Gomer (Man living at the time of the Patriarchs)
Genesis 10 makes him a son of Japheth, and the name stands for his descendants too, which is how Ezekiel 38:6 can list Gomer as a nation. Hosea's wife has the same name and is a different person.

Gomer was the promiscuous woman God commanded the prophet Hosea to marry as a living illustration of Israel's unfaithfulness, and Hosea's persistent love and eventual repurchase of Gomer after she left him for other men became the book's central picture of God's relentless pursuit of an unfaithful people.
