A follower or member of the Ayyubid dynasty, or relating to the historical Islamic dynasty that ruled the Middle East from 1171-1250 CE.
From Ayyub (the father of Saladin, founder of the Ayyubid dynasty) plus the suffix '-ite' (indicating a follower or adherent), following English ethnonym conventions.
The Ayyubid dynasty under Saladin united the Muslim world against the Crusaders and established some of Islam's greatest centers of learning and architecture—Cairo's Al-Azhar University, still operating today, was reorganized by Saladin as an Ayyubid institution.
