Hadhabani or Hadhbāni, Hadhbānī, Hadhbāniyya, Heciban ( ; , ), was a large medieval and most powerful Sunni Muslim Kurdish tribe. It made various emirates and dynasties from the Caucasus, all the way to upper Mesopotamia.
==Etymology== According to Vladimir Minorsky, The name of the Tribe is derived from geographical term for the region of Irbil, which is preserved in the name of the Nestorian diocese, Adiabene (HaSayyap). however this is rejected by modern scholars, according to Vanly and Zeki, the tribe got their name from Khezan-Hezan. Their name in Kurdish was pronounced Hezan. Other scholors suggest that Khezan-Hezan gets its name from the tribe, not the other way around. The name is most likely a combination of Hoz (, ; ) and Bān or Wān (, ; ), which means "Tribal leader".
