Nashashibi family

Nashashibi (Arabic: النشاشيبي, transliteration: Al-Nashāshībī) is the name of a prominent Palestinian family based in Jerusalem.

After the First World War, during the British period, Raghib al-Nashashibi was Mayor of Jerusalem (1920–1934).

A branch of the family, Al Hassani, are reputed to have moved to Damascus in Syria; another minor branch, the Akattan, is presumed to have been established in Turkey of the offspring of a major Nashashibi Ottoman officer who withdrew to Turkey after the First World War and the fall of Palestine from Ottoman rule. Little is known about the whereabouts in Egypt of the presumed source of the family.
