Al-Hashimi (surname)
Al-Hashimi, also transliterated Al-Hashemi (Arabic: الهاشمي), Hashemi, Hashimi or Hashmi (Persian: هاشمی) is an Arabic, Persian, and Dari surname.[1][2] The definite article Al- usually distinguishes the Arabic from the more numerous Iranian languages form.
It is the pronoun form of Hashim (Arabic: هاشم) and originally designated a member or descendant of the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh. The Islamic Prophet, Muhammad was a member of this Arab tribe; his great-grandfather was Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, for whom the tribe is named. Members of this clan are referred to as Hashemites or Hashimids. This refers in particular to:
- the Sharifs of Mecca, the rulers of Mecca from the 10th century until 1924. As descendants of Hasan ibn Ali they belonged to the Banu Hashim.
- the Hashemite royal family of Hejaz (1916–1925), Iraq (1921–1958), and Jordan (1921–present). As descendants of Sharif Hussein ibn Ali they belong to the Dhawu Awn, a branch of the Sharifs of Mecca, and therefore also of the Banu Hashim.
The Hashmi surname is used by Syed family of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, India, Pakistan, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Iran, and Syria.
