Dombiro (Arabic: دُومبِرَ بِنت دَغَالَ), was a Somali historical figure, known for being the wife of the progenitor of the Darod clan, Sheikh Abdulrahman al-Jabarti.
Biography
[edit]During the 15th CE,[1] Dombiro married Sheikh Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti (Darod), a son of the Sufi Sheikh Isma'il al-Jabarti of the Qadiriyyah order, who had settled in Somaliland just across the Red Sea. The union is said to have given rise to the Darod clan family.[2]
Dombiro was the daughter of Dagale (Dikalla), the Dir clan chief at the time[3][2] whereas other historical works plainly mention Dombira to be the daughter of Dir.[4] By marrying Dombiro, Darod established links with the Samaale stem.[5][6][7][8]
Dombiro is buried just outside the ancient town of Haylaan in the Sanaag region of Somaliland where Sheikh Darod's tomb is also located.
