El-Umari

El-Umari

The El-'Umari or "Al-Omari" ( _ar. العمري) family of Iraq claims descent from Umar, the second caliph, or leader, of the Islamic empire. The family claims an origin in Mecca, now in Saudi Arabia. Starting in the 17th century, family members are said to have migrated to the areas that are now the nations of Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.

The Iraqi El-'Umaris are said to have produced a number of Sunni religious scholars and Ottoman walis, or governors. during the Ottoman period. They were part of the educated Sunni elite. They also served various governments during the Mandatory and Monarchic periods of Iraqi history.

El-Umaries are known as Farooqi in Turkey, South Asia, and some part of Arab world.
