Kakish / Qaqish Clan

All the written sources available mention that the origin of the Kakish /Qaqish Clan is Arabs of   Gassani origin and Christian Orthodox who came to Esalt  City /Jordan from Salkhid City in southern Syria around the middle of the 17th century.

It is likely that the migration of the Kakish/Qaqish and his brothers was due to the poor economic conditions that prevailed in the region as a result of natural disasters occurred in the seventeenth century, since a number of other Clans migrated in the same period to Jordan from the same region or other areas of the Levant.

The tribes of Kakish/Qaqish, Qaradshah, Ayyoub, and Falluh belong to the same grandfather, (Sa'ad Ibn Hatem ibn 'Abdallah ibn Yagut ibn Awos ibn Thaghr al-Tai) such legacy has passed on from generation to generation since the 17th century. The Kakish/Qaqish, Ayyoub, and Qaradshah migrated to Jordan and settled there, and Fallouh migrated to Khoubab City first and then settled in Basir City in Syria. Kakish/Qaqish settle in Esalt city Ayyoub settled in Housen city Qardshah settled in Karak city first then in Madaba city and Nazareth city Fallouh settled in J=Khoubab city first then Basir city.

It was found that there is a dispute about the name of their grandfather, where Hanna Abu Rashidin his book “  Houran Al Damia  1926 “ mentioned that their grandfather's name is Quarwa, Mansour Eid Hatem in his book “ AlMaalem in Aal Hatem History “ mentions that their grandfather is Saad Ibn Hatem and   Al-Azizi mention  in his book “Malamet Jordan Heritage  1984 “his name is Yousef Al Hatem

In 1999, Mr. Ramiz Ayyoub said that Quarwa is the wife of Yousef al-Hatem, and as she did not bear children she arranged for him to marry a second wife who gave birth to his four children and therefore they bear Quarwa name. This story was reinforced by Akram Yacoub Matalqa in his history of the Karadishah Clan. But it is inclined to agree with what Mansour Eid Hatem said that Hatem had two sons (Qais and Saad) and that the latter is the grandfather of those clans. This is reinforced by what is recorded in the Hatem clan tree which is located in the Hammana Clan branch in Lebanon. Most of the available sources, which I was able to access, gathered that Sa'ad ibn Hatem ibn Abdullah had four sons: Kakish/Qaqish, Qardoush, Mansour(Grandfather of Ayyoub), and Fallouh.

Kakish/Qaqish available history goes back to seven generations descended from Mansur Kakish, Nasir Kakish, and Nasser Kakish. The oldest tree mentioned by the name of Kakish/Qaqish is held by the Hammana Clan branch of the Hatem family in Lebanon, drawn at intervals since 1656.
