Also at biblestudytools, the Brown Driver Briggs dictionary says "Cush" means "black".
Kuwsh Meaning in Bible - Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon - New American Standard (biblestudytools.com)
I have a question for you, if Cush doesn't mean black, what does it mean? In the Biblical Hebrew language, there is no name or word without meaning.
According to the bible account, Cush was a grandson of Noah by his son Ham.
Gen 10: The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizʹra·im,+ Put,+ and Caʹnaan.+
7 The sons of Cush were Seʹba,+ Havʹi·lah, Sabʹtah, Raʹa·mah,+ and Sabʹte·ca.
And the evidence points to Cush being the proginator of the dark skinned races of mankind. There is a scripture at Jeremiah 13:23 "Can a Cushʹite* change his skin, or a leopard its spots?
