The Al Kandari is a large clan in Kuwait, while not the same as more coherent clans or tribes in the region who come from a single main brranch, they are made up of loosely connected families and tribes; as each Kandari family may have different grandfathers, but as all have to come to Kuwait at similar times, the clan took the name after some of the first members who came to Kuwait who were working as "Kanadra" or water carriers in Kuwait. Therefore, the Al Kandari are simply a sizable Kuwaiti clan with various sub-families; closely related to each other. They are mainly composed of Sunni Muslim Larestani ancestry. [1] [2] Until clear DNA studies are done, AL-Kandari clan can be considered largely as a collection of families that may include people from Bastak region, bandar abbas, Huwla Arab and Larestani people.
They are descendants from several family heads, and no DNA Mapping has been done to acertain a concise definition or origin for the clan.
The Al-Kandari Clan was first established in Kuwait, and any Al-Kandari will usually attribute their origin to Kuwait from around the 20th century.[ citation needed]
Some al-Kandari members have migrated into other GCC countries, but not much is documented on such cases and its significance.
The political significance for the clans comes from the number of members of the clan in Kuwait; while no official estimate is available, the parliamentary elections in Kuwait has analyst consider one or two seats in the parliament for a member of the clan, some estimates go as high as 50,000 clan members exist in Kuwait, but official or reliable sources do not usually publish their numbers.
No known information is available yet on the DNA mapping for the clan.
