Ancient Medieval Modern Dasini (Arabic: الداسنية al-Dāsinīyya; Kurdish: داسنی Dasnî) or Daseni, Tasini, Dasiki, is a Kurdish Yazidi tribe[1] and ethnonym of Yazidis.
The tribe resided near Mosul, Duhok, Sheikhan, Sinjar and all the way to the west bank of Greater Zab river.
They were called Akrad Al-Daseniya "Daseni Kurds", who still spoke Kurdish for generations.
[6] The Yazidis call themselves Dāsin, Dasnī, Dasenī, plurally as Dawāsīn, duāsin, dawāšim, the origin of the name probably comes from an old Nestorian diocese.
Dawâsin) is derived from old Iranic language *daêvaysna which means "Daeva worshippers".
