Kurdish Tribes Y-DNA Haplogroups

Updated: 10.06.2017

 Today, I want to present some Kurdish tribes Y-DNA haplogroup results across the Kurdistan. Thanks to project admin of Dersim DNA Project for his work.

 For Dêrsim region I've used Nuri Dêrsimî's nomenclature for the tribes from his book "Dêrsim in the history of Kurdistan" (1952)
Not to forget to mention we have a new blog called FeyliDnaProject.blogspot. We received many Feyli results thanks to him.

 Also checkout the Feyli.se website if you want to learn more about Feyli Kurdish tribes mentioned below.

    MfA,

    Do Kurdish population show R1a-L657?.

      Haven't been found on any study or non study Kurdish samples so far.

      Some may pop up in future though. Since a few H1s have been found so far, It's probably Romani related.

      I think Z94 split into Z2124 and L-657 around Bactria-N India .

      Just like it can be said in case of R for R1 and R2.


      Delete
    3. MfA14 April 2016 at 22:23

      Z2124 most likely has nothing to do with Bactria-N India and it's from eastern Europe. I guess It's same for L657 too but we have no ancient samples that support that so far.

    MfA,

    This sample listed as this ''Talabanî - J2a1h2 (L26+, L25+, Z438+) - Silêmanî - Sorani FTDNA: 429046'' but on the map his origin is listed as

    ''KRD204S
    Origin
    Kerkûk
    YDNA
    J2a1h2 (L26+, L25+, Z438+)
    mtDNA
    ?
    FTDNA ID
    429046''


    Same person different origins listed? How come?

  3. jackson_montgomery_devoni14 April 2016 at 19:03

    No problem...I only have a few more questions about some of these results. This is actually all very interesting. I am most interested in the above Y-DNA haplogroup J2a results from Anatolia.

    Balaban - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346263

    Derwiş Cemelan - J2 (M172+) - Dêrsim - Zaza FTDNA: ?

    Ginîan - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Sewas, Zaza FTDNA: 343979

    Haydaran - J2a1a (L26+, M47+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346262

    Kurêyşan - J2a1a (L26+, M47+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346282

    Lolan - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: N100593


    Those results are all from distinct tribes correct? That is the Balaban, Derwiş Cemelan, Ginîan, Haydaran, Kurêyşan and Lolan are all tribal groups from Anatolia correct?

  4. jackson_montgomery_devoni14 April 2016 at 21:45

    Okay but all of these results are tribal correct?

    Balaban - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346263

    Derwiş Cemelan - J2 (M172+) - Dêrsim - Zaza FTDNA: ?

    Ginîan - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Sewas, Zaza FTDNA: 343979

    Haydaran - J2a1a (L26+, M47+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346262

    Kurêyşan - J2a1a (L26+, M47+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: 346282

    Lolan - J2a1h2d (L26+, L25+, L192+) - Dêrsim, Zaza FTDNA: N100593


    That is the Balaban, the Derwiş Cemelan, the Ginîan, the Haydaran, the Kurêyşan and the Lolan are all distinct tribes correct?

      Yes, they're all distinct tribes. There is nothnig significant tribal relations in the region of these tribes you mentioned anymore though. Nomore tribal lifestyle. It's nothing more than a family story anymore.

      Delete
  5. jackson_montgomery_devoni14 April 2016 at 23:52

    Right okay that makes sense. The direct paternal line grandfathers or great grandfathers of these Y-DNA haplogroup J2a men from the Balaban, Derwiş Cemelan, Ginîan, Haydaran, Kurêyşan and Lolan tribes would have lived the old tribal lifestyle though correct?

  8. jackson_montgomery_devoni16 April 2016 at 23:42

    So it safe to say then that this man at least along his direct paternal line definitely belongs to the Kurdish Jaff tribe?

    He is for sure a Kurd from the Jaff tribe of Iraq?

  9. jackson_montgomery_devoni22 April 2016 at 22:48

    Okay thanks...Now these are my last questions...It relates to the tribes of Dersim. In general how old are the tribes of Dersim? Do many of them have roots that stretch back to the Middle Ages or even longer ago? Or are they more recent formations? Do you know?

    1. MfA23 April 2016 at 17:36

      There are a few tribes claim they're a thousand year old -i.e Şadan. The tribe my line belongs to is a few centruy old. It's not actually a tribe originating from one man but amalgam of people originate from same place who seek refuge in their current location and natives of the location started calling them where they came from. It eventually has become their tribe.

      Following tribes claim to be originated from Khorasan and immigrated to Dêrsim 1300s: Şêx Hasanan, Kurêyşan, Hormekan, îzolan, Karsanan, Mîllan, Bamasûran, Lolan, Derwiş Cemelan.

    2. Onur Dincer23 April 2016 at 20:00

      As Khorasan we know was not a Kurdish land but a Persian one, the Kurdish tribes who claim to have migrated from Khorasan probably came from the Kurdistan area in what is now northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey and northeastern Syria. Since Khorasan means "east" in Persian, in the past it designated not a specific land but any land to the east. The famous Alevi writer Hamza Aksüt also points to this fact.

    Very interesting thank you. I know that I said those were my last questions above but your answer has spawned a few more. So the tribes that the Y-DNA haplogroup J2a Zaza men from Dersim belong to such as the Lolan, Kurêyşan and Derwiş Cemelan may have originated as long ago as 1300 AD (Christian Calendar)?

      I read somewhere can't recall atm, Ginîans immigrated at 1800s to Sewas from Dêrsim. IBD matches as far as I can see on GEDmatch, at least confirm that.

      Rest of the Qoçgirî confederation tribes immigrated at 1500s to Sewas from area between Amed - Çewlig.

  12. jackson_montgomery_devoni24 April 2016 at 20:28

    Yes I have also read that the Ginîan tribe in Sewas originally comes from Dersim. How old do you think the Ginîan tribe may be? When did it originate? Also around 1300 AD possibly?

    1. MfA24 April 2016 at 21:30

      Ginîan may not be an actual tribe prior to 1800s when they migrate to Sewas. I read others call people who speaks like them, Ginîan. Not much known.

  13. jackson_montgomery_devoni24 April 2016 at 23:41

    Ahhh okay I see. Now how about the Balaban tribe that so far has both Y-DNA haplogroup J2a and Y-DNA haplogroup R1b results? Do you know how old that tribe may be?

  14. Onur Dincer25 April 2016 at 09:49

    Yes, Ginîan and all the rest of the Kurdish tribes of the Karabel area of the Qoçgirî region of Sivas migrated to Sivas from Dersim during the 19th century, and they are all Dersim Zaza-speaking Alevi Kurdish tribes in conformity with their Dersim origins. But the Kurdish tribes of the rest of the Qoçgirî region of Sivas are all Kurmanji-speaking Alevi Kurdish tribes and they migrated to Sivas not from Dersim but from other places (likely Amed and Çewlig) around the 16th century and they are the real tribes of the Qoçgirî tribal confederation.

    That J2a1h2d Ginîan tribe member from Sivas is a friend of mine and he says that the Ginîan tribe might have originated from the Gnuni tribe of Armenians and switched to Zaza Kurdish and Alevism at a late time (the 19th century or prior) but when they were all still in Dersim.
