Not a personal name but a term for the nomadic peoples who inhabited the steppes north of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, proverbial in the ancient world as distant and uncivilized outsiders. Paul uses the term in Colossians 3:11 to list categories erased by unity in Christ, alongside Greek, Jew, barbarian, slave, and free, making the point that the gospel's reach extends even to peoples considered furthest outside civilized society.
