Jurhum (Arabic: جرهم, romanized: Jurhum; also Banu Jurhum or The second Jurhum) historically referred to as the Goramenoi (Ancient Greek: Γοrαμῆνοι) in the 5th century,[1] was a tribe of Arabia associated with Mecca. Muslim texts state that they were succeeded by Qusayy ibn Kilab, the leader of the Quraysh.
They were considered Qahtanites traditionally, whose historical abode was said to be Yemen.[2][3] Irfan Shahîd wrote that M. al-Iryani printed a Sabaic inscription in 1974 identifying it as a South Arabian tribe; previous theories had suggested they instead were the eponymous residents of Gerrha in Eastern Arabia, which this inscription put to rest.[4]
