clansfolk
Extended family members
Clansfolk are members of a clan, particularly in Scottish or Irish contexts where extended family groups share a common ancestor and surname.
The term emphasizes the collective identity of people belonging to such a group, whether by birth or adoption into the clan.
The clansfolk gathered for their annual reunion in the Highlands.
It serves as a gender-neutral alternative to clansmen.
