The Miknasa Berbers originated in southern Tunisia, but migrated westwards into central Morocco and western Algeria in pre-Islamic times.

The modern Moroccan city of Meknes bears witness to their presence.

After defeat by the Umayyad Arab Muslims, many of the Miknasa convert to Islam.

In 711, members of the tribe take part in the conquest of the Visigoth kingdom under Tariq ibn Ziyad.
