The House of Thani (Arabic:آل ثاني Al Thani) is the ruling family of Qatar, whose origins can be traced back to the Ma'adid clan of the Banu Tamim tribal confederation.
History and structure
The Al Thanis, an Arabic Family part which belongs to the Ma'adid sect of the Banu Tamim tribe, can be traced back to Mudar bin Nizar who settled at Gebrin oasis in southern Najd (present-day Saudi Arabia) before he moved to Qatar. Around the 17th century, the tribe lived in Ushayqir, a settlement north-east of Riyadh. They settled in Qatar around the 1740s. Their first settlement in Qatar was in the southern town of Sikak, and from there they moved north-west to Zubarah and Al Ruwais. They settled in Doha in the 19th century under their leader Mohammad bin Thani. The group was named after the father of Mohammad, Thani bin Mohammad.
The family is made of many factions. There were three major branches in the early 1990s: Bani Ali, Bani Hamad and Bani Khalid. The number of the family members during the same period was estimated to be about 20,000.
Why Does Qatar Exist? | House Al-Thani and the British Empire
Why does the tiny and incredibly wealthy State of Qatar exist? The Al-Thani, the royal family of Qatar, have worked to consolidate power in the peninsula for well over a hundred years. Through clever policies and timely alliances (most impactfully with the British Empire), as well as several conflicts with neighbouring Bahrain and other Qatari clans, they built modern Qatar.

🇶🇦 Qatar emir: Our sovereignty is a red line
In an interview with CBS sixty minutes Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, says the countries behind the Gulf crisis are trying to force a change of leadership.
His country's been living under a blockade for almost five months, since four Arab states cut diplomatic and economic relations, demanding Qatar reduce its ties to Iran and Turkey and to end alleged support for "terrorism" - an allegation Qatar has repeatedly denied.
Sheikh Tamim proclaimed his willingness to work with the blockading countries to end the crisis, but said that "nothing is going to be above Qatar's sovereignty."
Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna reports from Washington.
