Overview
Al-Subaie (al-Subayʿī) is a nisba-form family name attributed to the tribe of Subay' of central Najd.
Note
Bearing a tribal nisba does not by itself establish a specific line of descent; families should verify their own documented lineage. A classical nisba to the Yemeni clan Subayʿ of Hamdān also exists in the older sources, distinct from the Najdi tribal attribution.
