Draft:Naber Family

AL Al-Naber (also known as: Al-Naber, Naber or En Nboor. Arabic: ال النبر, عشيرة النبور ) is a prominent Christian Jordanian family (also classified as clan or tribe) who have resided in modern day Jordan since the 1500's or earlier. Descending from the historical Adnanite (Adnan) tribal confederation of Northern Arabia—a lineage shared with the Hashemites of Jordan—the Al-Naber name is also recognized among the tribes descending from or associated with the Ghassanid dynasty. They settled in Al-Salt, which later became the administrative capital, where they became large land owners and merchants. <1>

Murad Dabagh, in his book on Levantine families (لاخبار الشهية عن العيال المرجعونية والتميمية), states: "The Naber clans- Jawabrah, Hatatra, Nboor - enjoy a high social status in eastern Jordan, especially their leader Saeed Pasha Abu Jaber, who lives in their own town of Yadouda. Their homes in Salt are famous (the chosen place of King Abdullah I to reside when visiting), and most of them migrated to Amman, where they enjoy everyone's respect." <1>
