Jarrar Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The Jarrar surname comes from the Arabic adjective jarrar, that characterizes an army as big or tremendous. Therefore and is the case usually in Arabic, it almost always follows the word jaysh, Arabic for 'army'. The phrase jaysh jarrar means a 'tremendous army'. During the late Ottoman period, the men of the Jarrar clan formed an armed militia in their homeland in Trans-Jordan and marched on the Jenin area on the West Bank of the Jordan River to avenge the brutal stabbing of one of their men while he was traveling there. The militia was described by the eyewitness chronicles as a jaysh jarrar. Henceforth, the clan became known as the Jarrar.
