Roots of AlRoumi Family
Al-Roumi family is one of the distinguished and historically significant families in Kuwait, with deep-rooted cultural and historical connections in the region. The family’s origins trace back to the Anazzah tribe, a large and well-known tribe in the Arabian Peninsula. The Al-Roumi family migrated from Najd, an area in central Saudi Arabia, to Kuwait in the early period alongside the Al-Sabah and Al-Khalifa families. This migration was part of the broader movement of families who sought new opportunities and safety from internal conflicts in the Arabian Peninsula.
Al-Roumi family played a vital role in Kuwait’s economy through their involvement in the pearl trade. As prominent pearl merchants (tawwashin), they were integral to the thriving pearling industry, which was a major economic pillar in Kuwait before the discovery of oil. Their expertise in pearling and trade not only brought wealth but also positioned them as key figures in Kuwait’s economic landscape.
