Al-Jabiri

Al-Jabiri

Al-Jabira, also sometimes spelled al-Jabri, (Arabic: الجابري‎) is the name of a wealthy and well-known family based in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria

The Jabri Family (الجابري) is one of the most prominent, patriotic and wealthy families in Syria during the 18th century and well into the 20th century. Patrilineally, the family is descendants of Ahmad bin Mousa Bin Abu baker Al Jabira Housaini. However, the family name Jabiri is derived from the matrilinear descendant, Fatima, a daughter of an Ottoman judge named Jabir Bin Ahmad al-Halabi of Aleppo, who had considerable wealth and power at her time of birth.
