(Redirected from Gardheere)

According to tradition, Gardhere Samale Hiil (Somali: Gardheere Samaale, also spelled Gardere or Garder) was the first-born child of Samale, the legendary forefather of all Somalis. Gardhere's descendants are now a large Somali clan that inhabits vast territories in Kenya, Southern Ethiopia, Djibouti and Southern Somalia. Notable sub-clans who descend from Gardhere include the Garjante, Degodia, Gaalje'el, Masare, Ciise, Garre, and Cawramale .[1][2][3][4]
