Family and clan
Somali clan tree: Darod
This page lists every Darod group in Jan Abbink's Total Somali Clan Genealogy (2009) and ACLED's 2025 clan list, in each source's own placement. It is one part of the Somali clan tree.
This page is one part of the Somali clan tree. It gives the Darod section of each source in full. For history, places and records, see the Darod page.
How to read it
Spellings are the source's own. In Abbink's tree, a name with a question mark "could not be confirmed from more than one source", in his words. His sign -/- means "intervening ancestors or nodes in a line are omitted". Here such a line is marked as having ancestors left out (Abbink, The Total Somali Clan Genealogy, 2009, p. 7). Each indent is one level down: clan, sub-clan, lineage, then the diya-paying group.
