Ophir, from the Hebrew word (pronounced) oh-feer, was the name of a son of Joktan, a descendant of Noah through the line of Noah's son Shem (Genesis 10:21-25).
Ophir was also the name given to a place (see also Bible Places) that became famous in early Bible History for the gold found there.
Ophir is always mentioned regarding the gold found there; another clue as to the location of Ophir is that Solomon's ships departed from the Red Sea ports to obtain gold from Ophir, thereby indicating a southern destination (rather from the Mediterranean Sea ports which traded to the north).
