Inhabiting the Bannu District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan and North Waziristan of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, with some members settled in Afghanistan.[1][2][3] The Banuchis descend from the Shitak superclan[4] of the larger Karlani tribe. The tribe is more famous by its nicknames like Banuchi or Banusi as these titles belonged to this tribe in relation to this region. The words Bannuzai, Banuchi, Banusi and Banisi are strickly used for these people because as they conquered Bannu they interchanged the word Bannu for their tribe i.e Shitak (Kevi & Surani) from there they were more famously known as Bannuzais, Banuchi etc.
