Palestinian Families
A Palestinian family is a large community of extended family members with a lineage that can be traced to ancestors who resided in Palestine. Families There are numerous prominent Palestinian families who have contributed to the society, politics and economy of historical Palestine. Usage of the term Palestinian tribe is relatively uncommon and has differed depending on context. One refers to ancient tribes typically described in scriptures and Abrahamic religious texts, such as the Hivites. However, the historicity of such communities is often questioned due to their claimed descent from Noah who is described by some academic references and tertiary sources as being a fictional figure. More modern groups however are verifiable and include the Khalidi family, the El-Issa family, the al-Husayni family, the Abu-Ezam family, the Nashashibi family, the Tuqan family, the Nusaybah family, Shawish clan, The Barakat family, Shaath family, Shurrab family, Al-Khalil family, Ridwan dynas ...

It is usually considered to include Israel and the State of Palestine (i.e. West Bank and Gaza Strip), though some definitions also include part of northwestern Jordan. The first written records to attest the name of the region were those of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt, which used the term "Peleset" in reference to the neighboring people or land.

In the Hellenistic period, these names were carried over into Greek, appearing in the Histories of Herodotus in the more recognizable form of "Palaistine". The Roman Empire initially used other terms for the region, such as Judaea, but renamed the region Syria Palaestina after the Bar Kokhba revolt.
