The way I had it in mind was like this: There's the tribe, and then there are different families within the tribe, known as clans (truthfully, I originally chose this specific word because it sounded like a cooler way of saying family.)

In comparison, we have the entire human race, but we have split off and formed multiple, separate family units, such as my own and yours. The Majin may be an entire tribe, but they're not one whole family (unless you want to be romantic and philosophical about it.) For example, the Solomon clan are not directly related to the Mut clan and vice versa. That'd be like saying we're related by blood because we're both humans.
