ʿAbd Shams ibn ʿAbd Manāf (Arabic: عبد شمس بن عبد مناف) was a prominent member of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca in modern-day Saudi Arabia. The Banu Abd Shams sub-clan of the Quraish tribe and their descendants take its name from him.

Lineage[edit]

Abd Shams was the oldest son of Abd Manaf ibn Qusai.[1] His younger brothers were Muttalib, Nawfal and Hashim, after whom the Banu Hashim clan was named.[2]

The Banu Umayya clan was named after Umayya ibn Abd Shams, Abd Shams' biological son (more probable biological) or adopted son, according to some different versions.[3]
