Ogadeen comes from Dardaran, his real name was C/Raxman and since he was the youngest of Absame, when the old man was passing way in he gathered his sons and told them to look after the last born. "Inanka ogaadha"

Do You Know The Meanings of The Clan Names ?

Daarood ? = Dar = one's own, ood = barrier hence = One's barrier(the sole protection of their own) and they live true to this name.

Hawiye ? = Ha = yes, wiye = it is = yes it is people = agreable people they got tired of agreing with mad ppl.

Ogaadeen ? = The ones who know things = they are information seekers .

Marehan ? = Ma - reexaan or Ma - riixaan 2 posibilities the ones who do not sway(things on the back of a camel sway from side to side). alternate the ones who who do not push forward

Majeerten ? = Ma= not to, jarteen = take a portion = the one's who do not accept a portion they want it all always. Total ownership.

Gudabuursi ? gudib = behind, guursi = marriage = the one's with hidden marriage.

habar "Gedir" ? habar = can mean old lady, also in ancient somali means the family of(Bah), Gedir/qadir = Capable = capable family

Abgaal ? Ab/hab = the way of , gaal = unbeliever = the follower of disbelieve. They are very religion people however.

Leelkase ? leel/la'il = same as, kase = doer = the doer of the samething... i could be wrong about the leel

Dhulbahante ? dhul = land, bahante = needer = needer of land to this day they still fight for the saek of land.

Murosade ? muro/muror = by a twist, sade = taker = taker by a twist ... this is a leap of imagination

Xawadle ? xawad = bazaar, le/leh = owner = owner of the bazar. xawad in arabic = those who eat at wedding cermonies.

GaalJecel ? Gaal = unbeliever, jecel = lover = lover of unbelievers...


:?

Hope that helps, i had no intention of offending anyone so please see the humour...

ab-gaal----- bantu oo shaqaalo gaadu.

ma-jerten ----- jerten is an ancient egyptian word meaning halaal. therefore Ma--in somali means negative or it means NOT....together meaning---NOT Halaal. (Bin haraam- thats explains their brilliance in brain. All wecels are smarter than the average halaal person. :lol: )



Dhul-bahante -- In need of Land. Basically the greedy clan

Oga-deen --- Oga in somali means ' To know'...... deen is negative. Together it means the 'un-knowing' which emphasizes my assertions that Ogadens are dumb, not knowledgeable. :clap:

Habar-gidir ---Habar means an old woman in somali. Gidir sounds like an ancient tribe belonging to the primitive afars or ashante tribes of west africa. Some kind of a bantu ancient tribe. :clap:

Mar-e-haan --------Mar = One time or singleness-- haan = backbiting----or gossipy. So says they are loners or isolating tribe who are anti social. They like their kind though, just like the yuhuds like their own kind. :clap:


Habar -jeclo-----Habar for old woman, and jeclo is the loved old woman. :up:

Habar yonise -----The old woman from the prominent family of Yonise. (Yonice being a Semite name--dating to Quran ---Nabi Yhonis. And unfortunately this says, My people are closest to Yuhud kinship than the entire realm of isaaqniimo. ) :cry: :up: :lol:

Habar Awaal --- The old woman from the prominent family of Awaal. (Awaal, obviously an arab name possibly hints habar awaals are the closest kin of arabniimo in the Isaaq realm of hemisphere) :clap:


Warsan-Geli----War--news--- and san---nose----He who brings or gets the smell of the first news? Geli---as in GEL-i--camel? The nomads of Somalis? The only qabil in somalis with the remote-st association of somali symbol of pride? The camel?
OR it could simly mean---Geli as in PUT IN----I dont know what Warsan stands for in somali. Put in Warsan? :|

Check this one

MidGaan or Midqaan Mid = the one, Qaan = mature = The mature one

We have a lost history, when the Madhibaan/midgaan people claim they were people of royalty from an ancient sultanate in Bari it is difficult to ignore it.

Ancient kingdoms.

- Akisho
- Gala
- Boon --> when they were defeated in Bari and Nugaal their entire heritage was errased and they were enslaved for over 300-599years.
- Harar
- Adal
