The main Tribe in the town is Bardha Khel which is the Dispersed Sub-Tribe of Para Chamkani, now affiliated with Bangash Tribe. Their second faction is in the neighbor village Chapri Naryab, which is considered a part of Orakzai Tribe. The third faction is in Ali Zai area of Orakzai Agency in the Shiite Belt, which is affiliated with Orakzai Tribe. The fourth faction is in Mirali area of North Waziristan, named as Bado Khel which is affiliated with Dawar Tribe. Their main Tribe is in Karman Area of Kurram Agency which is considered a Sub-Tribe of Turi Tribe i.e. a major Shiite Tribe by belief. But in history, these all factions are of the same Sub-Tribe of the Tribe named as Para Chamkani. The history of Naryab dates back to three hundred years when this specific region was populated by the migrants from Kurram Agency. It was the same era when the Karman area was being populated by Bada Khel Sub-Tribe of the Tribe Para Chamkani. These Bada Khels after settling in Karman began to convert to Shiite sact under the influence of Turis of the region. According to the Bada Khels of Karman, some families after migrated to Orakzai Agency also adopted Shiite faith under the influence of the local people. But the Bada Khel families migrated to Naryab and North Waziristan, only changed their tribal identity, and by belief they remained Ahl-e-Sunnat. The reason for the dispersal of this Sub-Tribe of Para Chamkani is unknown but the mostly believed one is their clash with other sub-tribes of the same tribe.
