Banu Lakhm

Banu Lakhm

Banu Lakhm is a large Arab tribe tracing their lineage back to Qahtan (Biblical Joktan?), who among many achievements, created an Arab kingdom in Al-Hira, near modern Kufa, Iraq. This kingdom acted as abuffer zone between Arabia and the Persian Empire, preventing Bedouin Arab tribes from infiltrating Persian lands.

See more information in the Al-Hira page.

Lineage

The Banu Lakhm, or Lakhmids, are descendents from Malik (Malichus) bin Uday bin Al-Harith (Aretas) bin Murr bin Add bin Zayed bin Yashjub bin Oreb bin Zayed bin Kahlan bin Saba' (Sheba) bin Qahtan (Joktan), a Qahtanite Yemeni Arab tribe.

Their kingdom in Hira was ruled by the Banu Nasr (The House of Nasr).
