Libyan origins

That the Meshwesh were of Libyan origin is explicitly stated in a genealogy contained on the stela of Pasenhor (dated to the reign of Shoshenq V), where the great chiefs of the Meshwesh (including the kings of the 22nd Dynasty) are stated to be the descendants of "Buyuwawa the Libyan."[3] The Libyo-Berber origin of the Meshwesh is also indicated in their personal names (such as Osorkon, Takelot, Nimlot, Shoshenq, etc.) and a handful of non-Egyptian titles used by these people that are related to the Berber languages.

Notes

Probably a descendant of Buyuwawa and the Meshwesh were North African based Tyrio-Libyan representatives of the more ancient Hittie/Habiru Tribe of Biryawaza This would make the Meshwesh relatives of the Israelite King Saul.[4][5]
