According to vladimir Minorsky, The name of the Tribe is derived from geographical term for the region of Irbil, which is preserved in the name of the Nestorian diocese, Adiabene (HaSayyap). [3] the name is most likely a combination of hoz ("tribe") and bān ("leader"or" chief"), in Kurdish. which means tribal leader. [4]
According to Ibn Hawqal the region of Jazira was the Summer pasture of Hadhabani Kurds, [5] about 10th century they gradually immigrated northward to the areas around Lake Urmia with Ushnu as their summer capital. They ruled the area for a while but later split to a few branches who spread across Azerbaijan, and Caucasus.
