Historical Usage
Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah mentions the Berber dynasty of the Walids of Marrakesh in Maghrib, North Africa around 1230-1358 AD. Ibn Khaldun describes the Walids as a Berber dynasty that ruled over the Maghrib and created a 'Berber Sultanate' after the fall of the Almohad Empire. This period is characterized by political instability, with several Berber dynasties vying for power in the region.
1230-1358 AD
The name 'Wal' is derived from the Arabic word 'Walī', which means 'guardian' or 'protector'. In the context of ancient Arabian tribes, the term 'Wal' was used to refer to tribal leaders, who acted as guardians and protectors of their people. This usage can be traced back to pre-Islamic Arabia, before the advent of Islam around 610 AD.
