The Atrash family (Arabic: ) is a famous Druze family. It is traditionally considered the source of leadership in Jabal ad-Duruz. The name has the alternate spellings (with the prefix of al, al-, el or el-) of ''Atrache'', ''Attrache'', ''Attrasch'' ''Atrach'', ''Attrach'' and ''Attrash'', and is Arabic for "deaf". However, this is just a folk etymology, as the family name, like that of the other equally famous Druze family, the Jumblat. ==History== The family is claimed to be descended from the Prince Fakhreddin al Ma'ani, and migrated in the beginning of the 18th century, from Lebanon to Jabal ad-Duruz in southern Syria. They grew in importance and in 1869, Ismail al-Atrash led them to overthrow the al-Hamdan family by force. They were weakened by the peasant revolution of 1888 but led the Druze during the 1889–90 Ammiyya uprising. In 1909, Zuqan al-Atrash led an unsuccessful rebellion, and was executed in 1910. The al-Atrash family led their fellow Druze in fight against the Ottomans once again during the Arab Revolt until 1918 and the French in 1923 and 1925–1927, headed by Sultan al-Atrash (son of Zuqan al-Atrash).Their influence started to wane after unification and independence of Syria, especially with the death of Sultan Pasha al-Atrash. Some members of the Atrash family emigrated from Syria to Egypt in the 1920s. Fleeing the French occupation of Syria, 'Alia al-Mundhir al-Atrash, from the House of Sultan al-Atrash, and her three children, Fuad, Farid, and Amal al-Atrash (later known as Asmahan) were sponsored by Egypt's prime minister Saad Zaghloul and later became naturalized citizens.〔(Newspaper Article by Abdel-Fadil Taha 2008-05-23 Al-Quds Al-Arabi, "وحصلت الأسرة علي الجنسية المصرية وظلت تنعم بها ومنهم اسمهان بالطبع" )〕 After successful musical careers, Asmahan, Fuad and Farid al-Atrash were buried at the Fustat Plain in Cairo.〔(Classical Arabic Music Website. )〕〔(El Kadi, Galila and Alain Bonnamy (2007) Architecture for the dead.
