Update (27-June 2020): Wikipedia has this to say...

The Harari people (Arabic: هراري‎, Harari: ሐረሪ), also called Geyusu (Harari: ጌይኡሱእ) ("People of the City") are an ethnic group inhabiting the Horn of Africa. Members traditionally reside in the walled city of Harar, situated in the Harari Region of eastern Ethiopia. They speak Harari, a member of the Ethiopian Semitic language group within the Afroasiatic family.

The Herari (Harari) were the Gypsy (Geyusu) tribe. They are the People of the City. That city being Harar in Ethiopia.

Their Origin Story:

The ancestors of the Hararis moved across the Bab-el-Mandeb, entering the shores of north Somalia, producing a Semitic population among Cushites and Hamites in what would become Harar...

That taking place prior to the 10th century.
