Rahamna (Arabic: الرحامنة, romanized: Raḥāmna), also spelled Rehamna or Rhamna, is an Arab tribe that descends from the Yemeni Banu Ma'qil tribe. They today are situated in the region north of Marrakesh but first settled north of the Sahara between the 13th and 15th centuries. Their people descend from one famous common ancestor, namely Rahmoun bin Rizq bin Oudi bin Hassan (Arabic: رحمون بن رزق بن أودي بن حسان). The Rahamna, according to Professor Abdul Rahim al-Otri, is one of the Arab tribes that came to Morocco from the Arabian Peninsula through Egypt and Libya, then to Mauritania and Morocco, before settling in what is now Rehamna Province. This cross-country migration gave the tribe a mixture of tribal origins and affiliations and created several clans composed of Arab, Berber and African components. They are related to the Yagout tribe (part of the Tekna tribal confederation), who live in the Western Sahara.
