There is one line of thinking that suggests they were descendants of the fallen angels.

.........................................

They are mentioned both before the flood and after. Raphah of Gath was said to be the father of several giants of whom Golliath was one. A 12 fingered and 12 toed giant is also mentioned as one of the sons.

And we were in our own sight as grasshopper, and so we were in their sight. ; Deuteronomy 2 : 10-11 : The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Which also were accounted giants. ; Deuteronomy 2 : 20-21 : That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time....

Were there giants in Jericho?

A:When the spies returned and issued their report to Moses, they said that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29), yet once the invasion began, no giants were to be found. The Bible describes the Israelites as easily conquering Jericho and makes no report of them meeting any giants. In fact, the Bible says they overran 31 cities without ever seeing the supposed giants. The Exodus story needed an explanation for the reluctance to enter the Promised Land, but the quite separate tradition of Joshua's conquest of Jericho and the Promised Land had no need of giants.
