Japhet is a name named in Scripture. Hitchcock's Bible Names (1869) gives the name's meaning as “enlarged; fair; persuading”. The Scriptures below are what the Bible itself says — they are the whole of this entry, gathered from the King James text. (11 places in all; the first six stand here.)

Genesis 5:32 — And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
