Banu (بنو) is Arabic for "the children of" or "descendants of" and appears before the name of a tribal progenitor. The English counterpart would be "House of", for example the House of Saud.[1] Another example of the usage is the Bani Quraish, the tribe from which Muhammad came, for which a Quranic Surah is also named.
