Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Arab tradition confirms Genesis 10:26-29 in making Joktan (Kahtan) the great progenitor of all the pure tribes of central and southern Arabia. Thus Almodad equates to the Arabic Elmudad; Sheleph equates to Es-Sulaf in the Yemen; Hazarmaveth equates to Hadramaut on the S.E. coast of Arabia; Diklah equates to Dakalah, an important city in the Yemen; it means a fruit-abounding palm tree.
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Dik'lah. (Palm Grove). Genesis 10:27; 1 Chronicles 1:21. A son of Joktan, whose settlements, in common with those of the other sons of Joktan, must be looked for in Arabia. It is thought that Diklah is a part of Arabia containing many palm trees.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [3]
DIKLAH . The name of a son of Joktan ( Genesis 10:27 , 1 Chronicles 1:21 ), probably representing a nation or community. The names immediately preceding and following Diklah give no clue to its identification.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [4]
Son of Joktan of the family of Shem,whose descendants settled in Arabia. Genesis 10:27; 1 Chronicles 1:21 .
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary [5]
A tribe descended from Joktan, Genesis 10:27 , and dwelling in Southern Arabia, or perhaps near the head of the Persian gulf.
Holman Bible Dictionary [6]
Genesis 10:27
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [7]
(Hebrews Diklah´ דִּקְּלָה, fem.; Sept. Δεκλά, Joseph. Δέκλας, Ant . 1:6, 4; Vulg. Decla), the seventh son of Joktan (B.C. post 2414); also the name of a district settled by a tribe descended from him ( Genesis 10:27). As the name in Aramaic and Arabic means a palm-tree, it has been judged necessary to seek the seat of the tribe in some territory rich in palm-trees; of such there are several in Arabia (comp. Strabo, 16:776; Pliny, 6:32). One famous place of palm-trees existed at the very entrance of Arabia Felix, hence called by the Greeks Φοινικών (Ptolemy , 6:7, 23); but this was remote from the other tribes of the Joktanidee. (See Uzal).
Bochart (Phaleg , 2:22) finds it in Southern Arabia, in the district of the lMincei, which was also rich in palm-trees (Pliny, 6:28), now called Yemen (Niebuhr, Descr. page 201); Michaelis (Spicileg. 2:176) in the region of the Tigris (from the analogy of the name Diglath); but where the ground of search is so uncertain, it is impossible to obtain any certain result (see Fressnel's Lettres, in the Journal Asiatique, 10:90-96, 176-200; Jomard's Essai, in Mengin's Hist. de l'Egypte, 3).

(See Arabia).
Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblial Literature [8]
Dik´lah, a tribe descended from Joktan . As the name in Aramaic and Arabic means a palm-tree, it has been judged necessary to seek the seat of the tribe in some territory rich in palm-trees. Bochart finds it in Southern Arabia, Michael is in the region of the Tigris (from the analogy of the name Diglath); but where the ground of search is so uncertain, it is impossible to obtain any satisfactory result.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [9]
dik´la ( דּקלה , diḳlāh , "place of palms"): One of the "sons" of Joktan ( Genesis 10:27; 1 Chronicles 1:21 ). Perhaps a south-Arabian tribal or place-name connected with a palm-bearing district.
