Bouhamad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bouhamad (Arabic: آل بوحمد) is a kin originating from Al-Hasa; the eastern province in today's Saudi Arabia. Members of the family live in almost every Gulf State; (i.e.,Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Oman), but concentrate mainly in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Some Bouhamads can also be found elsewhere in the Middle East such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and as far as Morocco but they are most likely not immediately related to those living in the Gulf States.

Traditionally, The Bouhamads were known for working in the textiles field as Bisht tailors and also in masonry in the older-day Kuwait since the early to mid 1800s.

Variations in spelling the name include Buhamad and Bohamad.
