# Somali clan tree: Hawiye

> Every Hawiye clan, sub-clan and lineage in Abbink 2009 and ACLED 2025, level by level, as one part of the Somali clan tree.

Source page: https://calankii.com/en/society/somali-clan-tree-hawiye/

This page is one part of [the Somali clan tree](/en/society/somali-clan-tree/). It gives the Hawiye section of each source in full. For history, places and records, see the [Hawiye](/en/society/hawiye/) 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](https://hdl.handle.net/1887/14007)). Each indent is one level down: clan, sub-clan, lineage, then the diya-paying group.

### Gardere, Yakabur and Mayle

Abbink calls these a "pre-Hawiya" group. They claim descent from 'Imr, "an ancestor on the same genealogical level as Samaale". He writes that the Hawadle "are today often presented as one of the major clan-group within the Hawiye" ([Abbink 2009, p. 30](https://hdl.handle.net/1887/14007)).

## Karanle in more detail

A fuller Karanle tree appears on Wikipedia, which cites a Somali source. It is given here as a backup source ([Wikipedia, Karanle, backup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karanle)).

- Karanle
  - Gidir: Aw Bakr (Ahmed Maqi), Warneif (Taa'uud; Faasi, with Aw Qariib), Abshale
  - Kaariye: Af Haaj; Laasuge, with Abu Bakr (Sa'ad ad-Diin; Muhammed, with Sultan Muhammed)
  - Mursal (Murusade): Sabti (Abu Bakr, Idinle, Abdalla and Ibrahim Sabti); Foorculus (Muhammed Foorculus or Hilibi, Ahmed Foorculus or Daguuro, Ebakar Foorculus or Hawar Ceene)
  - Sexawle: Balaw (Iye, with Reer Garaad Mahiiqe; Shurbul), Ba'ad, Bur'aal (Bade Samatar, with Arabi and Haro; Farah Samatar)

Abbink lists Gidir, Kaariye and Sihawiye under Karanle, and Murosade beside it ([Abbink 2009, p. 29](https://hdl.handle.net/1887/14007)). The World Bank's south-central chart places Murusade under Karanle ([World Bank 2005](https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/b2109b26-2d10-5ac6-85c2-dbfa820c5f6e)).
