Comharba

"Comharba" is an Irish term meaning "successor" or "co-heir." Historically, it referred to a person who shares authority or inheritance with others, often in religious or noble contexts. For example, in church history, a comharba might be a successor who shares responsibilities with a predecessor or a group of leaders sharing a titular authority. The concept emphasizes shared leadership, continuity, and joint stewardship. While rooted in traditional Irish culture, the idea of comharba highlights the importance of collective responsibility and legacy within organizations or communities.
