Sheikhly
The 'Sheikhly'(or 'Shaikhly')is an Iraqi Arab clan primarily settled in Baghdad and its adjoining areas in Iraq. While many of its members have held and continue to hold notable positions in Iraq's political, military and social circles, the past three decades have seen a spike in the number of people from the Sheikhly clan migrating to Europe (Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom), Australia and the United States of America with most of them assimilating into the professional work force as doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, media persons and students. Although pre-dominantly Muslim-Sunni, the Sheikhly clan has kept its distance from sectarian and religious extremism and maintained neutrality even under Saddam's regime.

Most of the Sheikhly clan's origins are traced back to Iraq's powerful Sunni Jaburi tribe settled around Al-Dora (North of Baghdad). The laqab (nom de guerre) 'Sheikhly' symbolizes the pledge of spiritual allegiance to the famous Sheikh Abdul Qadir al Jilani and hence the title 'Sheikhly' in Arabic.

Some famous people with this Sir name have included Salah Al Shaikhly (Former Iraqi Ambassador to the United Kingdom 2004-2008), Abdul Jabbar Sabri Al Shaikhly (Famous British- Iraqi ENT doctor), Laila Al Shaikhli (anchorwoman and television presenter on Al Jazeera English), Tahsin al Shaikhly (Senior Security Advisor to current Iraqi Government)
