  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Peleg 
  division,  one  of  the  sons  of  Eber;  so  called  because  "in  his 
  days  was  the  earth  divided"  (Gen.  10:25).  Possibly  he  may  have 
  lived  at  the  time  of  the  dispersion  from  Babel.  But  more 
  probably  the  reference  is  to  the  dispersion  of  the  two  races 
  which  sprang  from  Eber,  the  one  spreading  towards  Mesopotamia 
  and  Syria,  and  the  other  southward  into  Arabia.
