-The ''''Utub'''  ({{lang-ar|'''العتوب'''}} ''{{transl|ar|utūb}}'') was an alliance of [[Arab]] clans originating from the region of [[Najd]] in central [[Arabia]]. The tribe is thought to have been formed when a group of disparate clans migrated from [[Najd]] to the [[Persian Gulf]] coast sometime in the late seventeenth century.
-The current ruling families of [[Bahrain]] (the [[Al Khalifa]]) and [[Kuwait]] (the [[Al-Sabah]]) belong to the 'Utub, though [[genealogy|genealogically]] they trace their descent to the [['Anizzah]] confederation.  Other families of the 'Utub include [[Al Fazil]], [[Al Jalahma]], and Al Bin Ali, and are largely based in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
