Dulaimi Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Dulaim: is one of the largest of all Arab tribes, with over seven million people. The tribe's history goes back to pre-Islamic times and today millions descend from the tribe in Iraq and neighboring countries such as Syria, Kuwait and Jordan. The Dulaims are the largest Sunni Arab tribe in Iraq, living on the Euphrates from a point just below Al Hillah and southern Baghdad to Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Qaim, Samarra and Mosul. Some scholars believe they were part of the first Arab Conquests in the 7th century. The Iraqi historian Mohammed bin Hamad Al-Bassam Al-Tamimi (1831) mentioned that the Dulaim tribe divided into four groups (Al-Bu Ridaini and Al-Bu Fahd and Al-Bu Alwan and Al-Mahamda).
