Darod (Somali language: Daarood) is a Somali clan named after their ancestor of Arab origin, Abdul Rahmen Ishmail Jaberti, who was said to have migrated to the coast of Somalia around 1200 CE. There is no concrete evidence which suggests this, thus very few individuals believe this theory.

The word Daarood does mean an 'enclosed compound,' consisting the two word of 'daar' (compound) and ood (enclosed place by wall, trees, woods, fence, etc).

Some sources, including the Canadian Report of the Somalia Commission of Inquiry, indicate that Darod is the largest Somali clan.^[1] Conversely, Human Rights Watch shows Hawiye as being the largest.^[2] The Darod population resides throughout northeastern, the Jubba valley and southwestern Somalia, northern Kenya, and Ethiopia's Somali Region (particularly the Ogaden area).
