Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
Dwellers in Canaan, and all tribes known to the Israelites at time of conquest (Gen. 10:18-20; 13:7; 14:7; 15:20; Num. 13:29; Josh. 11:3; 24:11).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Used to designate Simon Zelotes, one of the twelve apostles; this name Κανανίτης, Canaanite, is not the same as that of an inhabitant of Canaan, which in the LXX is Καναναῖος. That respecting Simon occurs in Matthew 10:4 and Mark 3:18; by the other two Evangelists he is styled “Zelotes,” and Κανανίτης (in some copies Καναναῖος) is held to be from the Aramaic qana, “to be zealous:” (Compare Num. 25:11, 13).
