The Azd or Al Azd, are an Arabian tribe. They were a branch of the
Kahlan tribe, which was one of the two branches of
Qahtan the other being
Himyar. In the ancient times, they inhabited
Ma'rib, the capital city of the
Sabaean Kingdom in modern-day
Yemen. Their lands were irrigated by the Ma'rib Dam, which is thought by some to have been one of the Ancient World Wonders because of its size. When the dam collapsed for the third time in the 3rd century AD, a large number of the Azd tribe left Yemen and immigrated in many directions. Azd is also a widely used male name in Yemen.
