Most Somalis trace their origins to Samaale:[1]
The eponymous ancestor of majority of Somalis today had 9 sons:
- Irir: Dir and Hawiye.[2][3]
- Gardhere : Gaalje'el, Garre, Degodi Masare, Issa and 'Awrmale[5][6]
- Mayle: Hawadle[5][6]
- Maqarre: Dabarre and Irrole[7]
- Yahabur: Hubeer[7]
- Gariife[7]
- Hammarre"Harmalle":[7] Ajuran
- Harire[7]
- Karur
- Samaale
Although Quranyow is part of the Garre confederacy, the sub-clan actually claims descent from Dir, son of Irir, son of Samaale.[8][9] This example does indeed strengthen the Somali saying: "Tol waa tolane", which means "clan is something joined together"[8][9] The same could be said about Gaaljecel, Degodi and Hawadle who have allied themselves to the Hawiye section of Irir in the borders of Somalia,[10][11] the Dabarre and Irrole of Maqarre and the Garre who have allied themselves to the Digil Rahanweyn confederacy and 'Awrmale to the Harti Darood section.[6][7][12]
The Rahanweyn (Digil and Mirifle) clan traces descent from a separate patriarch called Sab. Both Samaale and Sab are said to have descended from a forefather named "Hiil", whose is held to be the common patrilineal ancestor of all the Somali clans.[1][13]
