In the other Testament 1 word

Χανααναῖος Chanaanaîos · G5478 · a Chanaanæan, or native of gentile Palestine: Greek Χανααναῖος is the direct morphological and semantic equivalent of Hebrew כְּנַעַנִי, both denoting inhabitants of Canaan; the Hebrew term additionally extends to 'merchant/trafficker' (likely from Canaanite commercial reputation), a semantic extension not present in the Greek term, which remains ethnonym-only.

Names of Groups003001006: This word denotes the Canaanite people as an ethnic group inhabiting the land before Israel's conquest, so it belongs among names for peoples.
Professions001001003009: The same word is also used in its extended sense of "merchant" or "trafficker" (e.g., Job 41:6, Zechariah 14:21), reflecting the Canaanites' association with trade, so it also belongs among terms for trades and professions.
