Togar´mah is the Hebrew name of Armenia. The Armenians consider themselves to be descended from Gomer, through Torgom, and therefore they call themselves the house of Torgom. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah (; ).

Armenia was, according to Strabo, distinguished by the production of good horses. This account harmonizes with the statement that the house of Togarmah traded in the fairs of Tyre in horses, and horsemen, and mules (). The situation of Togarmah was north of Palestine: 'Gomer and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters' ().
