Baghicha Dheri 

The word "Kaka" can be loosely translated as "uncle", however in Pukhtoon tradition the word Kaka can be used to refer to any elder because in Pukhtoon tradition referring to an elder by their name is considered offensive. "Khel" in Pukhto means "from", "children" or "sons". Thus the world "Kakakhel" means the "Children of the Uncle". Among other names, Kakasaib was affectionately known as "Kaka" by everyone in the village. Hence the name Kakakhel was given to his descendents.

 Kakakhels were a little known clan before the late 13th century, this was because the number of Kakakhels had not reached the numerical threshold to be recognized beyond their immediate borders. In the late 19th and 20th century, Kakakhels started gaining prominence as their numbers grew and also because they were one of the first people in Pakistan to acquire modern education. The education in addition to their righteous nature gave them a highly esteemed position in Pukhtoon society. They were often called upon by the waring tribes as moderators and arbitrator in order to settle long standing disputes and blood feuds.

The largest concentration of Kakakhels is still in the birthplace of Kakaksaib, in the small village of Ziarat Kakasahib and also nearby villages including Guldheri, and Manahi in Nowshera District, Pakistan. The Kakakhel tribe is spread across Nowshera District due to their habit of migration. At one time the village Ziarat KaKa Sahib was a hard place to live, due to a lack of facilities and trade. There is now a significant population of Kakakhels in Abazai,Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Shabqadar, Sherpao, Nowshera, Akora Khattak, and Charsada Districts.

In the early 1900s Kakakhels reached as far as German East Africa (Tanzania) where Mian Ashraf-ud Din (Syed Abbas) established his businesses and family during the 20th Century on the African continent. Further, immigration to foreign countries such as the US, UK and Canada is also on the rise. There is also a significant figure of kakakhel in malakand agency.
