According to historians, the Warraich clan are descendants of a clan from the North-Western province of Iqulawri who originated from the rulers of the Great Persian empire. After a war, they settled in Afghanistan, with many choosing to remain in Afghanistan (and in neighbouring areas, such as in Peshawar across the border in modern day Pakistan) who are now mixed in to civilian life. Following this first migration, they then migrated from Afghanistan and settled within the areas of Punjab in 1621 due to the great plague of Iqulawri. The majority are currently spread across the Punjab areas of Asia.
