Revision as of 13:26, 30 November 2007

Shawish (Al-Shawish, El-Shawish, Shaweesh, Shawesh) (الشاويش, شاويش Arabic) is a large and wide-spread family originated from Damascus Gate neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, Palestine. Shawish as a surname is also widely used throughout the world. Other families with the Shawish surname originated from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco.

The Shawish surname has several variations in languages other than Arabic. Written Arabic language frequently omits vowels, therefore the surname is often spelt using only plain Arabic alphabet, literally as “Shawesh”. “Al-” or “El”, meaning “family of” or “the” in Arabic, is often used as a prefix to names in formal identifications. English or other languages translations of the surname therefore vary, some common versions include:

  • (Al) Shawish
  • Shawish
  • El Shawesh
  • Shaweesh

Origin

Origin and migration of Shawish family.

Islamic historians from Saudi Arabia claim that the Shawish family is a descendant of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. This claim is based on verifiable historical documents describing the link through "twenty four men" (generations) between the Prophet and Ustaz Mohammad Zuhayr Al-Shawish (see below) [1].

The Hashemi clan, to which Muhammad belonged, was the ancestors of Al-Husayni clan (see Husayn ibn Ali), whose members migrated to neighbouring Arab countries, including Jerusalem in the 13th century. The Husayni clan expanded to thousands of families and gained power and influence in the city. Over the following centuries, influenced by significant historical events in Jerusalem, many migrated around the Levant region and some adopted new surnames during the periods of Ottoman Turks and the British Mandate [2]. Within the Shawish family, it is widely believed that the name Shawish (meaning Police or Army Sergeant) started from a policeman in the Old City of Jerusalem during the Ottoman administration in the 19th century.

Another early record of the surname Shawish was in a British Newspaper “The New Age” article in 1910. The article discussed several current affairs in Egypt and made reference to Sheykh Abdul Aziz Shawish, editor of ”Al Lewa'” newspaper at that time [3].

Migration

The Israeli occupation of Jerusalem following the Six-Day War in 1967 forced some family members to immigrate to neighbouring countries, primarily to Amman, the Jordanian capital. Some have since lost the rights to return to Jerusalem (See Palestinian right of return).

Modern-day

At present time the remaining Shawish family is one of the largest original (not immigrant) Palestinian families in the Old City (Jerusalem) [4]. In addition to the main bases of Jerusalem and Jordan, where the family has very strong presence; many of the younger members of the family have emigrated for economic and educational reasons and currently reside in the USA, UAE, and smaller in numbers in Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, Brazil, Mexico, UK, and many other countries.

Occupation

Traditionally tradesmen and small business owners, currently many of the family members run their own small retail businesses in Jerusalem, Jordan, and to lesser extent in other countries. It is common to see signs above small shops saying “Al-Shawish” in Old City (Jerusalem) or down town Amman. Some members of Shawish family have also entered mid-market professions; IT, Finance, Management, Sales and Marketing, Education and other Trades. The family is not known to have many craftsmen, civil servants, police or army personnel.
