Al-Musharbash is a prominent Christian Jordanian family who have resided in Jordan since the 1600s. It is believed that they are descendants of the historical Ghassanid dynasty through one of the 12 sons of King Amr IV, who ruled over a large portion of the Middle East in the early 7th century. The claim is mainly through oral tradition, and a document from 1338 found in Bechamoun, Lebanon, written by Sheikh Salem Al-Wahban from the Sayegh tribe, tracing the family tree of King Amr IV. Some of the other Greek Orthodox families in Jordan share the same lineage.
