The Alfayez family came from the Bani Sakher tribe that originated from the Arabian Banu Tayy Tribe which itself originated from the Qahtanites in Yemen, and the Bani Sakher were first mentioned in text in the 15th century AD[4].The origin of the name is from the progenitor of the house, Fayez bin Fadel Al-Tayy. Fayez is derived from the Arabic word Fa'iz, meaning "Winner" in Arabic. The Bani Sakher Tribe was separated from Banu Tayy during that time as they migrated north to modern day Jordan, and then the Fayez were further distinguished after multiple successful leaders from the family and furthermore the lineage of Fayez Al-Tayy.
