Etymology

Shara'b Ar Rawnah is part of the Shara'b Mikhlaf that includes both Shara'b As Salam and Shara'b Ar Rawnah. The Mikhlaf was founded by the tribe of Banu Shar'ab, which is a tribe from Himyar. According to al-Hamdani and Nashwan al-Himyari, it is descended from Shar'ab Ibn Sahl Ibn Zaid Ibn 'Amru Ibn Qais Ibn Jusham Ibn Abd Shams Ibn Wail Ibn al-Ghwth Ibn Qotn Ibn 'Aurib Ibn Zuhir Ibn Aiman Ibn Homisa' Ibn Himyar. Ibn al-Kalbi and Ibn Khaldun say Shar'ab Ibn Qais without "Sahl Ibn Zaid Ibn ‘Amru". According to Ibn Sidah the word Sharoob (Arabic: شرعوب‎) means dates in classical Arabic and Shar'ab means a tall person with a well shaped body. The Sharabi spears (Arabic: الرماح الشرعبية‎) and an outer cloak called al-Shar'abiah (Arabic: الشرعبية‎) are attributed to the tribe of Shara'b.[2][3]
