The Ajuran (also Ajuuraan or Ujuuraan) is a Somali clan. The Ajuuraan together with the Hantire are the descendants of Jambeele , one of the six sons of Hawiye.
The Ajuran live throughout the Horn of Africa, and may be found in Somalia, eastern Ethiopia, and northwest Kenya. The Ajuran are best known in Somali history for establishing the Gareen dynasty based in Qalaafo (now part of Ethiopia). The Gareen dynasty ruled parts of East Africa from the 16th to the 20th century.
Some Ajuran members settled in Hamar and Mogadishu. They usually call themselves Moorshe, and are descendants of the Abdalla Dayle lineage.
