Emir of Harar
Make Harar Great Again
I was reading through Harari family names. Unlike somalis they get their family name based on a pious ancestor and everyone. For example the Imam family are descendants of Imam Ahmed Gurey. Here are some family names I found to be very somali:
Barkhadle (very common somali name used till today and is one of the older somali names)
Barre (older somalis used this name often like former dictator of somalia Siyad Barre),
Borama (a city in northern somalia)
Duale (another somali name it means the one who makes dua),
fudi gelle (it's the gelle part specifically not fudi which means
in gey sinan. So their family name means geel ![Peach :peach: 🍑](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.5/png/unicode/64/1f351.png)
)
Garad (both hararis and somalis use garad)
Liban (this is also somali meaning blessed)
Muqdish(sounds like muqdisho/mogadishu)
Sarkal (means lieutenant in somali)
Ugaz (the somali ugas elders)
War gar (means receive message)
Warfa (many somali clans are named warfa)
Yare (means small in somali)
Note that this is around a good 25%-35% of the harari family names. I would be interested in getting DNA samples from all families to see if they're related to somalis. And to add in many of the family names sounded oromo so I believe they might also have oromo admixture.
